Insomnia, an API development/debugging/testing tool, has been thoroughly enshittified. It now requires a cloud account to use, even though most of the use is just sending requests from your local machine (to servers often running on localhost too).

Luckily it was OSS so we have a new fork without the cloud "features": Insomnium

First, thank you for the great fork, its always good to see true open-source forks of things. But...

I'm confused. I've been using Insomnia for ages everyday and I'm on the latest version is there's no login:

Only those buttons there, but I haven't seen any popup or attempt to make me login. Can anyone elaborate on this?

8.2.0? Don't upgrade if you aren't there yet!

Oh yeah, I just upgraded to Insomnium. Just a PSA: if you're on Insomnia export your data BEFORE installing Insomnium as it will obliterate your Insomnia installation and you're going to lose your collections if you haven't exported it before.
