How I Built My Own Insomnia Plugin

Wp Plugins

Insomnia is an open-source API client that helps you test and debug GraphQL, gRPC, and REST API endpoints. As powerful as Insomnia is, sometimes you want to extend its functionality even further, which you can do with plugins.

My Insomnia plugin (requests-desktop-notification)

There are many great plugins available on the Insomnia Plugin Hub, all contributed by the open-source community. Even more exciting, if you’d like to contribute, you can build your own plugin!

371: Jon Kantner

Category Image 052

I got to speak to Jon Kantner! Jon is an incredibly prolific creator, and I believe has the most appearances in the CodePen Spark of any creator. Like so many other creators I’ve talked to Jon also shares what he knows in a variety of ways, like writing (see his personal site, or articles he wrote when I ran CSS-Tricks). We got to chat about some of his iconic Pens, his work, and some past fascinations like Tweet-sized code experiments. Follow him on Twitter here.
