In plain words

RAML 1.0 is a specification language that allows developers to design and document APIs using readable plain text before writing code. Users can visualize their API structure, identify design flaws early, and generate fully functional mock servers for stakeholders to test and provide feedback on. The platform supports hundreds of open-source projects and integrates with various developer tools to streamline API development and reduce time to market.

From the sources

RAML lets you see what your API looks like as you design it, using easy to read plain text. Without having to write a single line of code you can not only perfect your API design, but also create a fully functional mock for customers, partners, or even your own internal engineers to review and build off of. RAML enables developers and engineers to do what they do best – write code. No more guesswork or getting halfway through your API only to realize the design doesn’t work or is inconsistent. You can also reduce your time to market (and bug based headaches) by using the many tools available to help you generate the general structure of your API from your RAML files.

    Hi 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…
