Alternative to Thunder Client? (startrek.website)

+1 for never updating my extensions if they work.

Was setting up a new dev environment today, and Thunder Client ~~is~~ WAS my go-to for doing API testing. Now the free version is no longer compatible with VSCodium OR code-server. And on top of that, they've shoved in AI where it was neither needed nor wanted.

So, can anyone recommend an alternative to Thunder Client? Basically just need a way to do GET/POST tests through code-server / VSCodium. Preference is for something that works in code-server since I use that for just about everything since I'm constantly moving between devices.

For now, I've just copied the 2+ year old version from my old dev environment to my new setup, but that's just a temporary measure.

Maybe Bruno? I think they have a VS code extension.

They do, and I tried it, but it keeps crashing after completing a request (even a simple GET). Could just be that it doesn't like the Orange Pi it's running on, but other extensions work fine. I'll try it in VSCodium later.

I’m sorry I haven’t had much luck with finding vscodium equivalents. Currently using yaak (until the author rug pulls the open source version)
