Comment on Show HN: Specific (YC F25) – Build backends with specifications instead of codeparent

Comments

That's a fair take. We are planning on showing the output code to remove that need for trust, but focused on other things for the open beta.

As for who it's for, we are targeting technical people who might know how to build backends in code, but we believe it can be done more productively through specs. The specs remove the need for boilerplate code and more closely match the business requirements of the system. One common example of this amongst our users is building third-party integrations. That can require a lot of boilerplate code and libraries to achieve. In Specific, it can be as easy as linking out to API docs.
