Milkman – The Better Alternative to Postman

- I got sick of all those electron-based applications - I created a JavaFx-based workbench

Oh boi

For a Postman-like experience, I prefer Bruno: https://github.com/usebruno/bruno (not affiliated)

The UI looks a bit outdated, it gives me vibes of some old software from 2000s somehow (probably because of the Java). And it would be really helpful to clearly state benefits of using Milkman instead of Postman right on the home page (e.g. performance benchmarks, UX, extendability, etc.). I see that it has some users and 1.3k stars so there're definitely some cool things in Milkman, probably you could just present them better

Are API testing UIs really relevant anymore? I haven't manually tested an API for almost two years, and my APIs are SO much better. This kind of GUI is going to die over the next 5 years.

Postman should be seriously worried.

Have you ever heard about Bruno?

Looking at such ugly UI breaks my heart :(

What is better than the existing, established alternatives https://www.usebruno.com/ and https://insomnia.rest/ ?

Why?

The author appears to be suggesting that a key difference between Bruno and Insomnia is that Milkman not written in JavaScript/Electron, but rather JavaFx (i.e., Java) and thus is faster.

What’s next garbageman?

Jokes aside, why is it better?

Your GUI screenshots are squished on mobile. Stretched vertically.
