We made a tool to help developers improve OpenAPI specs
Hey, I'm Martyn and I recently joined Zuplo. OpenAPI is a huge part of what we do, but getting a document up to scratch out of the gate, especially if you're not super well versed in the actual specification and what you should use and when. So we built a suite of tools to help with this called Rate My OpenAPI. It will score your OpenAPI document out of 100, as well as giving you individual scores in 4 key areas; completeness, SDK generation, security and documentation. Along with the score, you also get details of what the issues, or errors are, as well as guidance on what they actually…
We made a tool to help developers improve OpenAPI specs launched on August 14, 2024 with 105 votes, #599 of 5,471 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
Rate My OpenAPI is a tool that scores OpenAPI specifications out of 100 across four areas: completeness, SDK generation, security, and documentation. Designed for developers working with OpenAPI, it identifies issues in specifications and provides guidance on fixes and importance. The tool is available as a web interface, CLI, and GitHub Action, allowing developers to integrate it into their workflows. It is free to use.

Turn your OpenAPI spec into negative tests2025 · github.com · ▲50I’ve been working on an open-source CLI tool called Dochia for a while now. The reason for building it: in microservices architectures, testing is repetitive: every service exposes APIs, and much of the testing process will share a similar set of test cases: negative inputs, boundary cases, encoding quirks, invisible characters. I wanted a tool that could automate this shared layer of testing instead of doing it manually across dozens of services. So what Dochia does: reads your OpenAPI spec; generates thousands of smart, edge-case payloads automatically and produces detailed reports with…
Auto-generate an OpenAPI spec by listening to localhost2024 · github.com · ▲178Hey HN! We've developed OpenAPI AutoSpec, a tool for automatically generating OpenAPI specifications from localhost network traffic. It’s designed to simplify the creation of API documentation by just using your website or service, especially useful when you're pressed for time. Documenting endpoints one by one sucks. This project originated from us needing it at our past jobs when building 3rd-party integrations. It acts as a local server proxy that listens to your application’s HTTP traffic and automatically translates this into OpenAPI 3.0 specs, documenting endpoints, requests, and…

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…

Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
