Hey team! I'm building something I've always wanted, and I'm ready to take the first step!
I'm a software engineer and I've got an idea that I'm ready to get feedback on. This is the first time I've shared my idea outside of close friends, and I'm excited to get thoughts from everyone.
I'm building https://attainable.dev, the fastest and easiest way to design and deploy data APIs.
This has been a year long side-project that started as a way to spend my free time learning Firecracker microvm, Go, and Svelte. Shoutout to Fly.io. I built my idea on their platform and it was great! When I wrote the first iteration of this idea I really liked what I had. As I kept at it, weekends at a time, the more I felt this could be the idea for my own SaaS product that targets a real developer experience problem.
I've spent a lot of time in my career building APIs for platforms, web and mobile products, data foundations, and any number of projects like those. Each time I developed APIs I found myself wondering "can't we just write down the resources we want and hit deploy?"
And now with the momentum around MCP and Agentic architectures, I keep seeing the need, and our industry is going in a direction that feels like we'll need to build and rebuild an incredible number of data APIs.
I'd love feedback and opinions about my idea!
