Hey guys,
This is Michael from the Scaphold team.
We are excited to officially launch today and would love to hear any and all feedback on the platform.
A little about us. We are a member of this summer's YC Fellowship class and are pumped to be moving full steam ahead with Scaphold. Over the past few years, my co-founder and I have built numerous REST APIs to back services ranging social music apps to community book swapping programs. Each time, we found that we were running into many of the same problems and building much of the same thing over and over again. We used REST because we didn't know any other way, but something was definitely left to be desired. Last year, after reading a HN post on this little thing called GraphQL, we knew this was the future. A few months later, we set out to build the world's most powerful GraphQL-as-a-Service platform and today we are sharing it with you.
Thank you HN for the support and we can't wait to see what you build!
PS. If you are an experienced React or Relay dev we would love to hear from you as your feedback would invaluable to us. You can connect on our Slack page here (https://scapholdslackin.herokuapp.com https://scapholdslackin.herokuapp.com) or via our the chat tool on our homepage.
- ModernMech 10y agoOn your docs page you write "We think it's probably easier to show you. Watch us make HackerNews in under 10 minutes!" but you didn't embed the video. Could we get a link?

- mparis 10y agoYes absolutely! We will update the docs asap! You can find the video on the home page as well as on youtube here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ8pnYd6jPQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ8pnYd6jPQ). We were actually able to get everything started in under 5 minutes!
- syrusakbary 10y agoCongrats on the launch! It's great seeing how fast GraphQL community is growing/evolving. What language are you using on the backend?
