I'm currently using Bruno, which uses its own format "Bru Lang" for storing HTTP requests as plain text[1]. The VS Code extension is great but I'd much prefer the standard backed by 30k+ stars was extended instead of a new format to introduce fragmentation in this space.

It looks similar to https://hurl.dev

I feel like I'm slow reading through the docs. I really tried.

Is this just curl with a simpler syntax? This is advertising CLI integration, so what's the VSCode feature people seem excited about?

It looks really nice! What I found challenging is the lack of namespaces for example using two different bases or two different OpenAPI specs that may override each other or be suggested in the autocomplete in the wrong situations
