Developer warns Postman proxies data without permission
Original: Tell HN: Don't use Postman, they proxy your info without your permission

The accusation, framed as a first-hand caution to fellow engineers, drew attention and dozens of upvotes, with readers weighing in on the privacy practices of a widely used developer tool.
