This began as a passion project and an opportunity to learn new tech.

I've always experienced frustration developing APIs, especially the RESTful CRUD style of data APIs. It always felt like I was repeating the same patterns over and over again, and that was tedium I didn't want. A little over a year ago, I wanted to learn more about Go, Firecracker microVM, and Svelte and thought "Could I build an API framework that was just a simple description of resources? What would that look like?"

That lead me to https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/, which landed me on https://fly.io, then https://rqlite.io, and the further I got into it, the more I really liked what I had. It's been over a year of learning and trying out all forms of tooling, CLIs, LSPs, and finally I landed on this.

So I decided to try my hand at making this a product. I'd really enjoy feedback about it and whether it's something folks would use. Here's hoping others feel the way I do about APIs and the developer experience building them!
