Bootstrapping a project generator tool for Django and Node: https://apibakery.com https://apibakery.com
I expect (well, hope for) it to be making some money at some point in the future but don't worry since it's a side project and something I'm passionate about building even if it's just for fun.
- courgette 4y agoI have an existing Django side project. Very simple app, but cool data. The usage is mostly querying the data in the Django admin and generating some reports. Very little custom code. Do you think I could realistically migrate and get something out of apibakery?
- senko 4y agoIf you already have a Django project up and running, you wouldn't gain much by migrating, as most of the value (for the moment) is in the initial setup, ready boilerplate and sane defaults. You could give it a spin tho (signup is free, and you can even create a demo project without signing up), any feedback is welcome!
- toyg 4y agoThis is actually pretty awesome. Unless you attach a cloud deployment setup (with all the complexity it entails in terms of monitoring etc), I don't see a serious monetization pattern for it (even the most hardcore cookiecutter agency probably wouldn't use this more than once or twice a week), but please publish the source if you ever take it offline.
- senko 4y agoThanks! I have some ideas for cloud deployment / testing, without making apibakery into a cloud hosting service (which is a different level of commitment I don't want to do on a side project). I do know even one-time template projects that charge one-time fee of $200-$500 per template, so the market is there, just need to figure out the best pricing strategy.
- itskarma22 4y agothat's pretty cool. Have you considered CLI version ?
- senko 4y agoI did not, that's an interesting idea, thanks!
