Detailed project & API Key auth metrics are coming soon in the #theauthapi. Using #retool is the best way to rapidly prototype new UI and charting ideas. Sure, #postman is handy for visualising data quickly, but it quickly becomes limited beyond basic charts and layering queries.

After meeting up with an old friend who develops in GO, I decided to build an open-source GO-based SDK for #theauthapi with some power-ups from Claude and Copilot 🤖🦾. Is this a wise way to attract a new developer audience to your platform?!? #buildinpublic #theauthapi #golang

Any suggestions for building a modern-looking SAAS product website? I want to eradicate #Wordpress from our stack! #buildinpublic

Testing out recording our new onboarding flow for theauthapi.com using Screen Studio on the Mac (cool piece of software). Do you have any tips on how to demo a tech-heavy platform neatly? I'm pushing the user to actively engage with the platform before continuing to their dashboard.

Walking and pondering if we should open source our code base to the api builder community 🤔. Inspired by @johnonolan.bsky.social on the scaling dev tools podcast podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s....

Watch my co-founder talking through scaling an API to 50 million daily requests. We built #theauthapi to underpin the API key distribution, logging, and monetization for this API. youtu.be/GqQ-y9tPmpI?...

How do you rationalize the best customer onboarding experience for pre-product market fit? I'm testing sending signup events from #Firebase into an #n8n automation to plug together an onboarding experience without committing code. What's your hack? #buildinpublic #theauthapi
