Show HN: Restfox – A web based HTTP client inspired by Insomnia and Postman Hey HN, I built this because I wanted a portable version of Insomnia I could access anywhere I am, without installing anything. The application is a PWA, so it will not load resources again after the first load, unless there's an update. It uses IndexedDB and loads quite fast even with a lot of nested requests and folders. Import from Postman and Insomnia is available making it easy to import your pre-existing request collections. Only limitation is that it only supports CORS enabled endpoints for now. I plan to add cors proxy support later on. There is of course the electron build ( https://ift.tt/JG4iwy7 ), which can be used to bypass cors but that kinda defeats the portability of the app but it is an option.

The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
