We also have a blog post about securing your Kong instance here: https://apiplug.com/blog/web-based-kong-api-gateway-manager/

I'd love to hear your feedbacks.


I agree, it needs a better value proposition. It's more like a h1 call to action.


Our service provides bespoke interior design/decoration advice. We are currently looking for beta testers.


We're developing apiplug.com to solve this problem. We also produce swagger documentation as a side product. Free in beta right now. Supports nodejs & php.


We built zoomgram to be able to zoom original sized instagram photos without loggin-in. We love to hear from you. We're also on product hunt today! https://www.producthunt.com/tech/zoomgram


Not a framework but we're working on something called APIPlug (http://apiplug.com) that will enable you to get source code in your desired language. We support versioning and working on oAuth and rate limiting right now. Drop us a message if we can add some feature that will make your life easier.


Hey HN! We need feedback, specially on UIX. Thanks


We're looking for feedback on usability and language/data source preferences. PostgreSQL, Python, you name it. We also applied to YC on this batch. Have a nice day!


We needed a single QR code for our advertising materials. Rather than having two or three QR codes for all stores, we developed QRUnity to have a single one. Links can be updated dynamically, so any link changes will not affect your already deployed QR codes. It's totally free. Hope you enjoy


First of all, really cool idea.

But if this goes on any "permanent" material (eg. printed on posters and such), it's nasty that the link would be on a domain controlled by someone else. Someone whose business model could change at any time, who could shut down and the links wouldn't work, or worse, who could start redirecting to malware.

My advice: Decentralize this by offering it not just as a service, but by licensing it to companies that want this on their own servers. I suspect some would pay a decent price for this.

Either that, or open source it. :)


Those are really valid concerns, we'll surely take it into consideration. We will pack it for download soon. First lets see if we're the only ones who hate multiple QR codes =)


I, and I'm being sincere and not at all snarky here, would be curious to see if people still use QR codes. Is this something used more frequently outside the US? I can't remember ever seeing a QR code and thinking "I'll go download an app and scan that and see where it goes".

I really am curious. Do you have metrics to share?


We just launched this so I don't have valuable metrics yet (can publish after a month or so). However, I can tell from experience that QR codes are still "in" for most of Europe. We even had clients asking us for QR codes to be printed in brochures etc, even before we created app store app. One reason that I coded this site is to send away QR codes asap and figure out app store links later. Yes they change name of the app last minute =)


I interviewed with both Google and Microsoft when I first graduated. MS one was way more smooth but it was largely because they've sent a team out and we did face-to-face interviews. At the end of the day I was told that I was not a good fit. The only thing I was pissed about is that they haven't told me they wanted a Software Tester right away. Since I wasn't interested in such a position, it'd save both parties a huge time.

Google one was quite a story. First of all, they reached out to me. Then it took them 3 weeks to schedule an over the phone interview. I've changed like 4 recruiters along the way, and no one told me way. This is a bad practice since for international hires, recruiters are way more important.

This is where it gets interesting. My interviewer failed to call me at appointed time, I mailed my recruiters, got a big lie, they scheduled for a week after. It was ok since accidents can happen. Over next to weeks I did two interviews (why on earth can't they schedule them one a day?) and I was told to wait for a committee. Ok, no problem. After 10 days, and a pissed off email, they told me that I had to get a 3rd one. Another week of waiting, and interviewer failed to call again! I was raging by that time. Another week. The interviewer failed to call again. I wrote an email telling them to not to bother with excuses. Right before I hit send, interviewer calls. I was raging so the interview was a bust. They waited 2 weeks to give me a response.

Moral of the story: If you need to have 3 or more interviews do them in a short time. In that 2.5 months time I've did so many things, Google became irrelevant, a joke for me. I do get that hiring is hard, as I'm doing it myself; but I always try to return to an applicant in a weeks time. Still now and then Google recruiters ping me over Linkedin. I've told every single one to send an offer right away and skip the interview process. I get the silent treatment =)


In 15-20 years, a new generation that is aware that nothing can really ever be "blocked" on the internet will come to power.

Until then, long live dns servers & vpn.
