Insomnia users locked out of their projects after 8.0 update (github.com/kong)

I was astonished to find that all of my configurations were entirely inaccessible as soon as I upgraded. I was being forced to create an account. And I assume once I do, all of my configs would be pushed to the cloud. I don't want that. I want my records local. Especially since it contains important private information not owned by me.

Thankfully I was able to download an older version here https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/releases before the 8.x release.

This is unacceptable. Enshittification indeed.


If Insomnia decides to move forward with this model, is there another simple CRUD app the community recommends that isn't Insomnia nor Postman?


NativeRest is a lightweight REST client and does not require a login.
