Ask HN: How do you build a developer dashboard?
I know this sounds dumb, but honestly, once I have a fully working API and stuff, how do I actually build a developer dashboard.
By dashboard I mean like the web interface where developers can sign in, manage applications, permissions, authorizations, generate secret keys etc.
Most of the APIs I use have this online, but I don't where to start when building one for my own API. Is there a company, SaaS that offers such or everything has to be written from scratch?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- hackermatic 3y agoHave you built out the backend functionality to support those features? Doing those right is the hard part; after that, it's just a regular front-end development problem.
- chirau 3y agoCan you explain further what you mean by backend functionality? The API itself is fully built out with authorization and stuff. But right now it is very manual, as in, you would have to generate the secrets and tokens via command line.
