I've compiled Cartero from source and I'll be using it for work this week. If I don't lose my files or experience any regressions in general, I'll release 0.2.2 by the end of the week.
The draft of bug fixes and changes currently looks like this.

A bug that made the URL text field very laggy when the URL had query params has been fixed. The query params table now updates faster, so the whole process of typing an URL will feel snappier now.
Also, we don't let the app url-encode the params anymore until the moment you send the request […]

Merged today a pull request to teach Cartero how to speak German and Basque.
These translations will be available in the next patch-release, which I intend to publish next week.

🚀 Cartero 0.2.1 has been released
This version fixes a bug that causes variables to not actually be disabled when you uncheck the checkbox (shame). It also updates translations for Catalan, Galician (new!) and Brazilian Portuguese.

I’ve been told that there is a bug where disabling the checkbox for a variable in the variables table doesn’t actually disable it and the value is still picked. This is already fixed in trunk and 0.2.1 will be released soon to stabilize it.

Interesting bug fix merged yesterday: in JSON responses, the order of the fields will not be swapped anymore. It turns out that Cartero has been alphabetically reordering the keys of JSON objects all this time. In version 0.2.0, it will not do that anymore and will respect the original order.

The only thing currently holding the release of 0.2 is the self updater. I'll be working on this in the following couple of nights.
It will only be available in platforms where there is no package manager to do this, such as the AppImage executable for Linux, and the Windows and MacOS versions […]

A new version has been uploaded to the edge channel of the Snapcraft package.
This snapshot adds the last feature to be added in this cycle, a new panel to set the authorization credentials of a request. Currently only supports basic auth and bearer tokens, with more methods in the future.

Request error messages have landed into trunk.
In the next version of Cartero, whenever a request fails, you'll see a full screen error message saying exactly what's wrong, not just a notification that says "HTTP error". They work exactly as you would expect.

Cartero is getting a new application icon for the next release. I know, so much for minimalism, but the current icon had too many details to be recognisable when scaled down. The envelope stripes are now larger (it's an air mail envelope! ✈️), and the colors are more consistent.

Slowly cooking something for a future update: real message dialogs that you have to dismiss (after reading probably) with proper explanations on what failed.
Small notifications in a corner that just say "something failed" are not very useful, I reckon.

Here is a thread on why I decided to work on a first-party Snap package even though I don't use Snap. TL;DR: data allows to make decisions.

And now, it's story time. I'm not a Snap user. I don't even use Ubuntu these days as my primary GNU/Linux distro and when I do, I don't install snaps, I just "apt install" whatever I need to install in order to get my job done.
However, the selling point has been the metrics dashboard. Of course, it's currently empty, but I suppose I'll eventually get some basic information about where is the application used.
Flathub should take note of this. There is a total installs counter but that's it.
