Every major SaaS already has an API available for their product as far as I can tell. What sort of nontrivial service is just API endpoints? e.g. if your product is just an API to get weather info or a headless CMS, isn't that just a feature of a more-complete product?
I'm genuinely curious, because it seems like API-based SaaS would be good products for engineers to launch.
- notjesse 7y agoStripe is an example of it. They do have a dashboard, but at the end of the day, without implementing their AI or stripe.js, there is not much you can do with them. It seems like a great business model for engineers to try out ideas.

- config_yml 7y agoSomething like unchained.shop. Hybris is uncool and too expensive to customize. I agree it's a good thing for engineers to launch.
