## Current Status
Due to another related project, this repo is no longer being actively maintained. (You are welcomed to fork this and continue from here on)
## General
I have removed user login, tracking, analytics, etc, from Insomnia so it is now a 100% local app. (And runs faster!)
## Download
Insomnium is available for Mac, Windows, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora and [can be downloaded here](https://github.com/ArchGPT/insomnium/releases). Insomnium is also [available on AUR for ArchLinux](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/insomnium-bin).
Alternatively, you can build Insomnium from source on your local machine using `npm run app-package`.
## Backstory
Insomnium is a fork of [Kong/insomnia at 2023.5.8](https://github.com/ArchGPT/insomnia), the last commit before compulsory account login was introduced. In a sense, Insomnium is a community response to [the latest product update that forces account creation w/o warning](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37680522).
I was among the users who were deeply affected by the recent change. I still think Insomnia is a nice product in general, but I have to disagree with the direction it is going. So I have decided to fork it and make it 100% local and privacy-focused.

## Migration from Insomnia
You can use the GUI (under `Preferences/Data`) or directly e.g. for linux `cp -r ~/.config/Insomnia ~/.config/Insomnium`. [For MacOS and Windows, you can read more here](https://archgpt.dev/insomnium/migration-guide). Feel free to open an issue/discussion if anything weird happens.
## Develop Insomnium
Development on Insomnium can be done on Mac, Windows, or Linux as long as you have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) and [Git](https://git-scm.com/). See the `.nvmrc` file located in the project for the correct Node version.
Initial Dev Setup
This repository is structured as a monorepo and contains many Node.JS packages. Each package has its own set of commands, but the most common commands are available from the root [`package.json`](package.json) and can be accessed using the `npm run …` command. Here are the only three commands you should need to start developing on the app.
```shell
# Install and Link Dependencies
npm i
# Run Lint
npm run lint
# Run type checking
npm run type-check
# Run Tests
npm test
# Start App with Live Reload
npm run dev
```
### Linux
If you are on Linux, you may need to install the following supporting packages:
Ubuntu/Debian
```shell
# Update library
sudo apt-get update
# Install font configuration library & support
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig-dev
```
Fedora
```shell
# Install libcurl for node-libcurl
sudo dnf install libcurl-devel
```
Also on Linux, if Electron is failing during the install process, run the following
```shell
# Clear Electron install conflicts
rm -rf ~/.cache/electron
```
### Windows
If you are on Windows and have problems, you may need to install [Windows Build Tools](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools)
Editor Requirements
You can use any editor you'd like, but make sure to have support/plugins for the following tools:
- [ESLint](http://eslint.org/) - For catching syntax problems and common errors
- [JSX Syntax](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/jsx-in-depth.html) - For React components
