First read
Visible and active, but adoption proof is still thinner
Kong/insomnia has enough public attention and recent movement to stay on the shortlist, but package usage is still partial, so the next step should be source and ecosystem validation rather than a quick yes.
Visible
40.1K public stars in the current GitStar snapshot.
Recognizable in the ecosystem
Active
Last commit Oct 27, 2026.
Fresh activity
Adopted
Treat stars as discovery context until a linked package appears.
No linked package mapping
Confidence
One or more key signals are partial, so GitStar keeps the interpretation conservative.

hoppscotch/hoppscotch and scalar/scalar are the closest comparison targets GitStar found. A side-by-side comparison usually tells you more than a single raw rank.

Package reality
No linked npm or PyPI package is mapped for this repository yet, so the page leans more heavily on GitHub-visible popularity and should be read more conservatively.
GitStar expects a package signal here, but no npm or PyPI package is linked to this repository yet.

Validation note
GitStar can summarize public signals for Kong/insomnia, but the GitHub repository is still the primary place to confirm release cadence, issue activity, and maintainer intent.

Hype vs Reality
Insufficient Package DataGitStar can see repository momentum, but it does not have a reliable linked package signal yet.
Treat stars and recent movement as discovery context only until npm or PyPI usage is available.

Method note
This label appears when GitStar cannot find strong enough package telemetry to compare attention against adoption. Compare it against other TypeScript repos before treating stars as a moat.

About This Page
This page provides a quick overview of Kong/insomnia based on GitStar's cached data. The signal chart reconstructs approximate checkpoints from current stars plus cached daily, weekly, and monthly star deltas, so it is best read as directional context rather than as a precise historical audit log.
