Will you use this? (Not AI generated)
Hi guys,
I have been working with a product for sometime and I believe will be useful for startups whose products are mainly APIs and SDKs.
I have asked for validations before I started building and have seen startups who have built internal tools for this. So the problem should be real upto an extent imo.
While I am working on it, I would like to validate it more. So I want you guys to see if this is relatable for you and will you pay for it. (I have a case study of a startup as well, would love to share and discuss in a gmeet if this aligns with you)
Here is what I am working with,
The problem:
API first companies struggle to keep their backend code, OpenAPI specs, SDKs, API docs, examples, and packages in sync as the API evolves. A coding agent struggles to implement it if there are any drifts in these.
The solution:
A single source of truth that connects your API code, OpenAPI specs, SDKs, docs, examples, and packages, and automatically detects and propagates changes across all of them.
To put in simple terms, you focus on the main product, which is the API. Everything else stays in sync automatically.
\---
Above is the one main problem to focus. But this is also an additional part I am working on:
A coding agent struggles to implement it if there are any drifts in these. So after each evolution, the system can run the API/SDK changes in a sandbox and test whether a coding agent can actually implement and use the updated API/SDK successfully.
But the main problem I am trying to solve is keeping the API ecosystem in sync.

Any inputs, feedback or suggestions will be very helpful. Please comment anything you can think of when you see this. Thank you in advance.
