Launch on Product Hunt

Hi makers!
I finally launched Kuiq on Product Hunt
This is the app where you can ship an API in 10 sec 🔥

How do you create an API usually?
I often use Firebase or Supabase, and there are multiple things I have to configure before deploying an API.
Kuiq eliminates those steps to publish an API.
Hope Kuiq makes your development faster :)

----------------Some stories about Kuiq if you are interested 🙂

It all started with this Tweet by @thekitze, I read this tweet and I was like "This is awesome".

I remember how I deploy APIs on Cloud Functions or other platforms, and I noticed there are multiple things I have to configure before deploying an API.
I wanted to make this application. But at the same time, I understood that this was a type of app I had never made before.

I figured I would probably need to use a server environment (e.g., GitHub Actions) to execute commands to deploy the API. This is not a simple web app that can be built with Firebase/Supabase and React. But I wanted to push my boundary, so I started to work on it anyway ;)

My first git commit was on Sep 24th, so it took 43 days to launch, it's too much.
Avoiding overengineering as Pieter Levels says was very hard for me...If you have ever been hired as a full-time engineer for a couple of years, you might know how I feel.
We are tasked with writing clean, easy-to-maintain code and releasing it in a near-perfect, bug-free state for an app that already has many users. So I was not accustomed to shipping something that works quickly anyway, regardless of how clean the code is.

But I wanted to get the feeling of launching a product back, so I decided to launch Kuiq anyway, never giving up. I mean... I had been away from Product Hunt culture for two years.

Anyway, thank you to everyone who read this and give it support!

P.S. All the todos I have are on WIP.

    hi @taishi .... this looks cool !!! It might be really helpful if someone wants to build a wrapper api service or could also be used as a hosted mock api. I guess, adding suppoirt for coding it up in multiple languages would be helpful.

      Hey @sagarsehgal! Thanks for the comment!

      wrapper api service or could also be used as a hosted mock API.

      These are good use cases 😁

      Multi-language support sounds a bit tough but I'll think about that.

      Thanks!
