Congratulations! The local API client space urgently needs some Open Source tools that don't suck. I've ditched Postman and Insomnia for Bruno, but since this supports gRPC I really want to give it a try.

Python as a scripting language sounds nice, I don't particularly enjoy working with JS and I think it'd be a nice addition for people like me who prefer something else. Not having to install an electron app is also huge for me.

For me, installation failed with "Package xkbcommon-x11 was not found in the pkg-config search path.". I needed to install libxkbcommon-x11-devel on fedora.

It definitely is super snappy and lightweight.

Is there an option to use a dedicated directory for a workspace to share it in git? That'd be huge for me, being able to commit the request yaml files to git is super nice

Hi Thanks for your feedback, all the configs are stored as file and ofc you can share it in any ware works for you.

On linux you can find the files on ~/home/.config/chapar

And each workspace is a directory there.

What I mean is that it'd be nice if you could store them somewhere else explicitly. Create a new workspace and store its contents in your code repository so that you can commit it and share it with your team directly through git.
