Product validation
Hey,
I founded a SaaS called mockless.com for rapid prototyping and mocking Apis.
The main goal is to decouple the frontend team from the unfinished backend features as there might be started mock servers with mock data similar to the production ones from day one.
At the same time it gives the backend teams a clear image of what they have to build as everything can be documented in a visual way.

I am curious to hear your opinion about the product.
Thank you,
Iulian.
I'm curious who you see 'owning' these mock api artifacts. In other words, in this hypothetical scenario with decoupled front- and back-end teams, who will be producing and maintaining the mocks?
If the ownership is shared between the two, something that strikes me as interesting as an avenue of exploration is a way to collaborate and provide feedback on the generated apis. That feedback will need to be happening out of band anyway and I speculate that maintaining the fidelity of the mock apis over time will become a burden if the platform isn't the source of truth and discussion.
Otherwise, landing page looks great and communicates what the platform does and who it is intended for.
My high-level feedback on product can be explained by a couple questions:
What about this product will make its benefits outweigh the financial cost and and maintenance effort of such high-fidelity mocks?
How will this benefit be delivered through the different phases of the software delivery lifecycle?
I wonder if answering these questions right on the landing page might make the value proposition stronger. One person's 2c :D Keep up the good work!
