Hey hackers đź‘‹ My name is Shashank.
A couple of months ago I was stuck in that classic indie-hacker loop:
Reality check:
The “scratch-your-own-itch” spiral
Instead of rage-quitting, I opened a fresh repo:
Rule #1: Every endpoint must actually work.
Rule #2: If my grandma can’t run the curl command, docs aren’t clear enough.

That's a very cool idea. Can you tell me how did you manage to add that many APIs? Seems to be a massive work to do

Go API-market go!!
Thank You, please do try it out.
