Summary

Dear Development Team,

Thank you for providing such a useful tool! I'd like to share four enhancement ideas that would significantly improve my workflow:

Workspace Management
I'd like the ability to create multiple ‌local workspaces‌ to separate different projects. While the current online workspaces and team collaboration features are helpful, I frequently need to switch between projects and require dedicated personal workspaces for better organization.
Environment Isolation
Currently with a single workspace, all projects share the same environment (though grouped in collections). I propose allowing ‌environment customization per workspace‌ - this would let me maintain distinct configurations for different projects without creating excessive environments.
Environment Parameter Sharing
When a workspace contains one project using multiple environments, there should be a way to ‌store and reuse common parameters‌ (headers, request bodies, auth tokens) across environments. This would eliminate redundant configuration for identical settings. #5239
Update Control for Chinese Users
Due to China's unique network environment, accessing your servers can be unreliable. Could you add ‌configurable update checks‌ (manual/interval-based) rather than mandatory updates on launch? Immediate tool accessibility would greatly improve the user experience.

These improvements would effectively address the challenges developers face when managing multiple concurrent projects.

Thank you for considering these suggestions!

Best regards,

Why should this be worked on?

Hi @CloverAn - Multiple personal workspace are not in our current roadmap. Though, you can already create multiple workspaces and organize requests into collections and folders with team collaboration support. The environment is also scoped to workspaces. While we’re improving the platform’s features, most of the requests in the question are already addressed in Hoppscotch. You can use all these features in both Hoppscotch Cloud and Self-Hosted instances across multiple clients, like web apps, desktop apps, and more.

Thank you for your response!‌

I've reviewed the team collaboration workspace options, including using the self-hosted community edition. However, these don't fully address my concerns or what I'm hoping to achieve.

I wonder if other developer friends might have similar needs. I hope one day in the future, I'll be able to use these features on Hoppscotch.

Thank you again!

Hi,

I work at a company where cloud isn't an option and self-hosting involves a ton of paperwork, so the easiest immediate option would be to have local workspaces that could be synced as files in git.

Thanks
