How do you replace Postman? I feel like it's pretty easy to test text encoding formats that are human readable, but not sure how I'd do that with gRPC.
I would recommend https://kreya.app as the Postman alternative for gRPC. It supports much more features than BloomRPC or Insomnia and has some additional goodies that will help advanced users. For example global authentication configurations or support for easy git syncing.
+1 for Bloom. The only thing it’s missing is support for the gRPC introspection API. It’s not bad if you have all of your organizations protos in one repo (which is what we do), but otherwise annoying to have to clone a repo and point Bloom at the .proto file just to talk to the API. Other tools (grpcui I believe is one) support introspection but aren’t as polished at Bloom.
