Will you add an Electron version? A browser-based HTTP client is nearly useless for me because of CORS. I couldn't come up with any interesting internal endpoints to even test this with. I thought "Install app" was going to give me an Electron version, but it isn't; it's still the same thing with the same restrictions.

If I create a team and share requests, do I also share passwords and other credentials? If so, where are they stored and how secure is that?

I work for a company with many different project. Is there a workflow where I can save a workspace as one file and save/load it with my project from Git (or any local folder on my computer)?

If you create a feature to host a Docs page in the future, please improve on Postman's.

Theirs lacks key features and introduces bad ones:

1. Locks you into their Collections datamodel. Results in the API being maintained outside OpenAPI generated files because your annotations can't be easily merged with new endpoints. 2. Unable to password protect the API docs, even with a basic password. 3. Unless this changed recently, there is no way to re-order the endpoints or the responses without manually removing and re-adding them! Absurd.

You should try ReadMe :) we do all of that, plus let your APIs play with the API right in the docs. And a billion other cool little features!

Hey! So I tried to import a Postman collection, but the pre-request scripts aren't getting imported. Neither are the sample code snippets. Is this not implemented yet, or is it a problem with the collection (or something I'm doing).

i'm really really curious - how did Hoppscotch get so many github stars? sorry if this is superficial but you've reached a level of stardom very few projects reach and in seemingly very short time.

Not a question, but a complaint. Your machine translated interface falls short of being acceptable. Either give the l10n job to a human, or don't do it at all.

With this being open source, perhaps it'd be better to submit a pull request rather than a complaint?

Can you provide one or more example(s) of translations that aren't great?

i10n is internationalization in which language?
