Hi HN! This is a side project I've been working on for a while now.
It's similar to https://jsonbin.io https://jsonbin.io (which was an inspiration!), but focuses on the second step of prototyping with data - once you're editing JSON online, how do you make sure you don't break your app? npoint.io lets you enforce a structure using JSON schema (http://json-schema.org http://json-schema.org).
More background info: http://alexzirbel.com/npoint http://alexzirbel.com/npoint
Also, it's open source! https://www.github.com/azirbel/npoint https://www.github.com/azirbel/npoint
All feedback is super welcome. Also happy to answer any questions here.
- peterwwillis 8y agoCould you add that to your FAQ? I was like, what the heck is a json bin, what is actually validating this schema, is this something I run on my machine or in the cloud, is this self-hostable, how am I supposed to actually use any of this, what am I suposed to use it for, etc. Cloning jsonbin's about page would be great.
- azirbel 8y agoSounds like the homepage copy could use some work. Thanks for the list of questions you had, that's very useful. jsonbin definitely does a good job of explaining it.
