Building on NyxAPI - Progress Update
It’s been a few days since the Appwrite Hackathon 2024 kicked off, and I’m happy to share some exciting progress on NyxAPI! We’ve laid a solid foundation by completing the basic raw frontend using React, implementing authentication, and setting up working APIs. Two servers are running on FastAPI, and the project is working smoothly so far.

What’s Working:
- Frontend: Built the core structure with React, offering a simple but functional UI.
- Authentication: Integrated Appwrite authentication for secure API access.
- API Functionality: Implemented essential endpoints that allow developers to create and manage mock APIs effortlessly.
- FastAPI Servers: Running two separate servers to manage different API types and handle requests concurrently. This setup has been great for testing and development.
What’s Next:
We’re now focusing on adding some crucial features to take NyxAPI to the next level: - Support for Multiple API Types: We’ll introduce the ability to generate various kinds of APIs, making the tool versatile for different developer needs. - Improved UI: The current UI is basic, so we’ll be enhancing it for a more polished, user-friendly experience. - Collaboration Features: Developers will soon be able to collaborate on API creation in real time, further streamlining the frontend-backend workflow. - Billing System: Integrating a billing mechanism to manage paid plans for extended functionality. This will turn NyxAPI into a solid SaaS product.
The Vision:
As we continue to improve NyxAPI, the goal is to provide a complete developer tool that can evolve into a powerful SaaS platform. I’m excited about the potential here, especially with the collaborative features and the flexibility of multiple API types. This could really empower development teams by saving time and eliminating bottlenecks.
