I really hate that you have to download things

To the Treehouse developers and teachers: Please, stop requiring us to download additional apps. Why not integrate everything into the workspace instead? Some of us may prefer not to download extra software, and without it, we're unable to continue. Thank you for considering this feedback, and have a great day!

Hi there Ava Jones ! 👋

Unfortunately something that does the same actions as Postman is not able to be integrated into Workspaces as far as I'm aware. Postman is a very useful tool in web development though as we're regularly calling / creating APIs and testing routes etc. I feel it would be worth learning a widely used tool for these things so that you can be already accustomed to it when you're done with your courses and learning on Treehouse, where Workspaces are only accessible. Postman also has a web app version that you can run in your browser just so you know 👍

I'll pass on your thoughts to the team though, everyone's opinions matter and we love to hear them! Maybe there is a way to integrate something like this that I'm not aware of. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!
