Launch!

So, last year was brutal - for everyone on the planet. Among other things, for me it meant a pause on API Bakery plans, so I finally picked it back up this spring and started working towards launch.

While the core of the product (the value add) is mostly unchanged, there was a lot of work to be done on the edges - stuff like user accounts, subscriptions, payments integration, etc, as well as thinking through marketing strategy for the first few months.

So finally, most of the bricks were laid out last week and I pulled the trigger on the newletter email (34 strong! :-) to announce it. So it's not a big, splashy launch, and that's intentional.

My expectations for the launch are modest. I hope to get feedback from at least several potential users, to see if the path I'm currently on matches what their pain points are, and adapt the direction based on what they tell me.

I'm also (slowly) working on the content marketing front. The aim is to slowly get the ball rolling in both audience and visits.

For the next few months, I'll be focusing on speaking with users, finding new users and adjusting what I already have based on what I hear. I do have some plans on the todo list, but I don't plan on starting any grand undertakings until I have more sense of direction based on the feedback I (hope to) receive.

With that said, I encourage anyone looking for low-code API solutions to visit the project and try it out, or just watch the intro/tour videos to get a gist of it. Any feedback is welcome!
