Show HN: Mockend – Develop your web or mobile UI without a real back end
- throwaway888abc 4y agoCongratulations for as stated on homepage, those are impressive milestones: Mockend is the N°1 GitHub App Trusted and loved by 12K+ developers I will stick to well maintained and free open source alternative: https://www.npmjs.com/package/json-server https://www.npmjs.com/package/json-server
- northxo 4y agoThank you :) JSON Server is great too. I think both have pros and cons depending on what is needed. Mockend provides hosted fake servers. You don’t have to worry about deployment. So I think it’s easier to work with it in non-JavaScript environments (where installing a npm package would maybe be hard to justify) or for demos where you can’t make calls to a local server. Mockend also comes with random generators and GraphQL endpoints. There’s a free plan for Open Source too. In the end, it all depends on requirements and preferences.
