I've been reading this one and then the post itself a couple of times.
Appreciate the suggestions and the time you took to write them down.
Just not sure if those would help here (not saying they 100% wouldn't). I am all for storytelling on some platforms, but HN is IMHO a no-bs, no fluff, keep-it-short and to-the-point space.
If you're a dev, and you excessively ran APIs or governed them, you most likely remembered the pains mentioned later in the post the second you came to "API client" bit. The frustration bit should tell you why it's not just another one of those tools but rather addresses those pains. And the example is showcasing the minimum effort needed to execute an endpoint.
If I were to rewrite it again, I don't think I'd change much, if anything.
If you're a dev, and you excessively ran APIs or governed them…
I am a dev, and it took me a while to realize this was the pain point you were solving. Mayhaps I'm the wrong dev, and that's just fine, regardless this looks pretty neat.
Or maybe I'm the wrong storyteller for you :D
We did get a couple of pieces of feedback re- the landing page not being clear. I'm wondering if you checked the website before or after reading my copy? Would you say that may have impacted this "time to realisation" span?
