Reqres – A hosted REST-API for testing your front-end against

In plain words

Reqres is a hosted REST API designed for front-end developers who need a reliable backend to test against during development. Launched in 2014, it provides a simple way to make API requests and receive realistic responses without setting up your own server. The service is useful for prototyping, debugging, and validating front-end code before connecting to a production API.

  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.
