Zudoku – Open-Source Documentation Framework for APIs

Hey all! At Zuplo, we couldn’t find an open-source documentation solution that met our high standards for both trustworthiness and programmability, so we decided to create our own (you know, as you do). Zudoku is a framework for building high quality, interactive API documentation. We’ve now released it as an OSS project under a MIT license: https://github.com/zuplo/zudoku) It’s predominantly built around a highly interactive API reference powered by OpenAPI (with GraphQL support on the way), but also has MDX support, authentication options such as Auth0 and Clerk,…

    Development teams often struggle with using multiple tools like Postman and Swagger for API design, development, and testing. This fragmented approach leads to outdated API specs and chaotic collaboration. So we built Apidog: a single, unified API platform for team collaboration. It has a beautiful interface that makes it easy to create API spec, generate request data from API spec, validate responses, create mock data, orchestrate test scenarios, and publish API documentation. Apidog = Postman + Swagger + Mock + JMeter.

    We're excited to share EloqDoc, a new open source document database built on top of Data Substrate. EloqDoc is designed around the principle of treating object storage (like S3) as a first-class citizen for durability and cost efficiency. If you love the flexibility of MongoDB's document model but are struggling with scaling, cost, and consistency due to its coupled architecture, EloqDoc is for you. It’s built to solve MongoDB's inherent infrastructure challenges while remaining fully compatible with existing MongoDB clients and drivers. Key Features: 1. Object Storage as First Citizen: Uses…

    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…
