Restly Labs

What it does

Design, version, validate, and document your REST APIs with a visual, form-based OpenAPI editor — no hand-written YAML. Free to start.

Spend less time wrestling with your OpenAPI file, and more time focusing on building your API. Restly's form-based editor makes it easy to design OpenAPI files, while still allowing you to view and edit a spec's underlying YAML. You should be able to edit your API without having to modify the underlying OpenAPI file. Request and response bodies, headers, query parameters, security schemas (and much more) are all editable through forms. While designing your API, you can use the form editor or the spec editor at anytime. Changes in one view will immediately show in the other, providing you with extreme fine grain control over your OpenAPI file. Branches allow you to maintain multiple draft,…from restlylabs.com

  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. 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…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
