This looks very similar to Insomnia[0]. How does Kreya compare with it?

It also supports generated data, environments, references, and expiring references which might trigger a different http call to get a new value for them.

Correct, the Kreya UI is inspired by Insomnia.

Some of the differences are the more complete gRPC support, how API authentication is handled and how the project data is stored.


I'm not interested about gRPC right now.

API auth is complicated in insomnia, but there is a clever way to use variables/env to solve it once and for all. So that's also a non-issue in this comparison.

Insomnia UI/UX is still much better/prettier (Postman is ugly + bad UX).

So the only great point for now is how the data is stored. I don't know why Insomnia hasn't fixed this on their end yet; their sync is so bad because of this.

This point makes me interested in trying out your app but I already have large projects on Insomnia. How can I transfer (import) any of them to quickly give it a go and evaluate? Do you (plan to) support any import feature?


API auth in Insomnia still needs to be declared for every operation, which is a bit of a hassle (a point Kreya tries to solve).

Import of Insomnia or Postman collections is not yet implemented. However, if you have an OpenAPI/Swagger document, you can import that for a quick start. Or use the Kreya example project to quickly evaluate it.


Yeah, where is the import options?

Do you guys think you will only gain new customers that are ready to start from 0?
