Restful.io – a curated list of resources for API developers

In plain words

Restful.io is a curated directory of resources for API developers. Launched in 2015, the platform compiles tools, libraries, tutorials, and documentation related to REST API development. It serves developers who need to find reliable resources for building and working with APIs. The site functions as a reference guide, helping developers discover relevant materials organized within its collection rather than functioning as a development tool itself.

  Talanoa▲346

  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.
