Summary

I'm coming from Insomnia due to latest drastically changes and decided to move to Hoppscotch. While I was impressed by very well designed and smooth interface, I noticed one thing that spoils the impression: collections looks the same as folders and it is hard to distinguish them. In Insomnia there is a dashboard of collection and when you select the collection, then you fall through it and it becomes current "scope" of work, which contains requests and environments. In Hoppscotch on the other hand the border between collections is blurred and the idea of collections becomes not so clear. I'm suggesting to reorganize the flow of work so the collection becomes more separated, something like namespaces. To illustrate what I mean, this is the structure which I have in Insomnia:

Workspace - Pet projects
- Collection - Project 1
- Collection - Project 2
Workspace - Work
- Collection - Project 1
- Collection - Project 2
Workspace - Second work
...

Why should this be worked on?

This will make the interface of the app more straightforward and allow to separate different parts working flow.
