How will your service be different than something like mockable or mockbin? I use mockable quite a bit at work and it solves my needs pretty well, and it's free.

  Beeceptor can route requests to orignal API if there is no mock defined. This helps you build SPA applications faster, by not defining mock for all calls, but only for new features.
  
  as an interceptor. It wraps your existing endpoint and give your capabilities to write mocks for new APIs to the existing one. If a rule is matched, it will do mocking. If no rule matched, the call will be routed to original APIs as is.
  
  if there is no original endpoint, use it to build all of the mock calls from here. Inspect headers and payload right in the dashboard in realtime.
  
  I hope this answers how it is different with Mockin

I think being able to add mock data for the API to send (copy in some JSON values) would be cool

  It is already there as a feature - Rules. You can define rules that matches request path and return mock JSON response. When a rule matches, it does not hit original endpoint.

Brilliant idea, I will test it shortly. It's sometimes hard to go back and forth between your front-end and back-end programming mindset. Now you can delay the back-end build to do all in one go when you are ready. And so many extra features on top of that.

  Absolutely. You can still use Beeceptor when backend is ready. Just diable rules and your requests will be routed as is.
  Thanks for trying!
