    Apidog▲570

    Development teams often struggle with using multiple tools like Postman and Swagger for API design, development, and testing. This fragmented approach leads to outdated API specs and chaotic collaboration. So we built Apidog: a single, unified API platform for team collaboration. It has a beautiful interface that makes it easy to create API spec, generate request data from API spec, validate responses, create mock data, orchestrate test scenarios, and publish API documentation. Apidog = Postman + Swagger + Mock + JMeter.

    Handinger▲244

    A few months ago, I was developing a bookmark manager for https://fika.bar. I needed a way to fetch metadata, screenshots, and markdown content from websites. Since Fika is a donation-based product, I couldn't afford any of the providers out there, so I decided to build instead of buy. "Easy," I thought. But weeks later, I found myself building data pipelines, implementing proxy rotation schemes, and dealing with TLS fingerprinting. Not fun—and definitely not how I wanted to spend my time. My product was a bookmark manager, not a data extraction service, yet most of my efforts…

    I built devtool.io over a weekend to solve a recurring pain point: discovering and keeping track of high-quality developer tools. I've lost count of how many times I've bookmarked a great CLI, API tester, or AI tool—only to forget where I saw it. DevTool.io is a minimal, searchable directory where developers can find and compare tools by category (CI/CD, Frontend, AI/ML, Databases, etc.), see what's trending, and browse curated picks. Each tool includes metadata like website, GitHub, category, and tags (open-source, freemium, etc.). Feedback, ideas, or tool suggestions are all…
