Agree! Kinda related I struggle with filtering on my new followers. Tinkering with this idea. bsky.app/profile/nick...

What’s the biggest challenge at the moment to existing tools?

Cheers. I like your thinking.

I find it challenging to decide whom to follow back. Here's a solution for you ya!

Fork the project here: github.com/seventy6/blu...

#bluesky #nextjs #buildinpublic

Problem case: with so many new followers, it’s hard to find engaging accounts to follow back!

How about a tool to filter recent followers by a criteria? Like they have a bio, they post, they use x,y,z tags. Then a big button that allows me to follow back quickly.

The Cat API - Cat as a Service Get free access to over 60K cat images and breed information. A fully protected and authenticated API to instantly fill your website or app with cat content.

The data in the chart is from one of our favourite customers, thecatapi.com - in a slow month, we authenticate around ~1.2M requests.

Detailed project & API Key auth metrics are coming soon in the #theauthapi.

Using #retool is the best way to rapidly prototype new UI and charting ideas. Sure, #postman is handy for visualising data quickly, but it quickly becomes limited beyond basic charts and layering queries.

If you are a GO developer and want to learn more, LMK!

After meeting up with an old friend who develops in GO, I decided to build an open-source GO-based SDK for #theauthapi with some power-ups from Claude and Copilot 🤖🦾.

Is this a wise way to attract a new developer audience to your platform?!?

Yes, please!

The Auth API solves the challenges of building your own API store management solution. Redefining how you manage access to your API. The Auth API removes hundreds of hours in development time trying to solve key distribution, key lifecycle, event logging, rate-limiting, hook events, cac...

Throw theauthapi.com in the mix if you need an API Key handler and logger.

I've seen it but not had a chance to use it. Good shout!

Any suggestions for building a modern-looking SAAS product website?

I want to eradicate #Wordpress from our stack!

Hmm, BlueSky not liking the animated gif.

Screen recording of a user creating a new project in theauthapi app.

Testing out recording our new onboarding flow for theauthapi.com using Screen Studio on the Mac (cool piece of software).

Do you have any tips on how to demo a tech-heavy platform neatly? I'm pushing the user to actively engage with the platform before continuing to their dashboard.

🙀

I like Claude telling me it can’t help me with that query. Rather than bending over backwards to generate a fictional response.

Just missing a mac app.

Thanks for the tip!

Keep going! We've had some success with thecatapi.com (weirdly, the enterprise package is starting to gather interest).

Interesting read. With the monetization piece, is running your API behind a gateway provider like Tyk your favored approach?

Walking and pondering if we should open source our code base to the api builder community 🤔. Inspired by @johnonolan.bsky.social on the scaling dev tools podcast podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s....

How do you rationalize the best customer onboarding experience for pre-product market fit?

I'm testing sending signup events from #Firebase into an #n8n automation to plug together an onboarding experience without committing code.

What's your hack?
