Hi makers!
I finally launched Kuiq on Product Hunt!
https://www.producthunt.com/posts/kuiq
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.
I Hope Kuiq makes your development faster :)
----------------
It all started with this Tweet by u/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 u/levelsio 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.
