MockAfrica
Mock data that actually looks African
MockAfrica launched on April 14, 2026.
What it does
Most mock data tools are implicitly Western. If you're building for African users, you end up with names, phone numbers, and addresses no local would recognise. MockAfrica fixes that. Hit the endpoint, get realistic fake data for Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Rwanda. No account needed, 100 requests/day free. Drop your email for 1,000/day. Also shipping: African-style silhouette avatar placeholders. Early, imperfect, feedback welcome.
Generate realistic African mock data for Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Rwanda. Free REST API for developers.
Names, phone numbers, locations, financial data and national IDs - accurate for Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Rwanda. { "country": "GH", "count": 1, "data": [{ "name": { "first": "Akosua", "last": "Mensah", "full": "Akosua Mensah" }, "gender": "female", "dob": "1991-03-14", "phone": "0244871032", "network": "MTN", "email": "[email protected]", "national_id": "GHA-829341720-5" }] } GH Ghana person location finance company identity NG Nigeria person location finance company identity KE Kenya person location finance company identity ZA South Africa person location finance company identity RW Rwanda person location finance company identity 1 Demographically weighted Names…from mockafrica.com

GraphQL Zero – AIs Mocking APIs2023 · github.com · ▲7I made an API mocking tool that imports a schema, populates fake data, then runs a local server. This is helpful for testing APIs or advanced prototyping. A demo video is here: https://www.loom.com/share/abad2cdf325e4e0b9addea1e14406166?... There’s two fun things about this tool 1. the complete lack of configs and schema annotations. i.e. you don’t need to learn faker-js. You just need your existing GraphQL schema and to to swap out the server URL in your frontend code. 2. the depth. Your fake objects have relationships to other fake objects. And in proxy mode, real…
Mocktail – Free, open-source mock API server with a built-in dashboardAug 2026 · getmocktail.com · ▲25Hi HN, I built the first version of Mocktail years ago. I recently came back to the project, and after a pretty substantial rebuild, v4 is now out. Mocktail is a free and open-source, self-hosted mock API server with a built-in dashboard and database, packaged as a single ~25 MB binary. You can run it locally or on your own infrastructure — no account or hosted service required. You can define endpoints and responses, generate realistic data per request, customize headers, status codes and latency, and inspect incoming requests in real time. With v4, I also added MCP support, so coding…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food. Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
