• Show HN: REST Alternative to GraphQL and tRPC

  Thank you for your encouraging words and insights! There are indeed popular DSLs and code to openapi solutions out there. Many of which are easy to plug in to the openapi-stack libraries btw! I guess I personally always found it frustrating to try to control the generated OpenAPI output using additional tooling and ended up preferring yaml + a visualisation tool as the api design workflow. (e.g. Swagger editor)... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

I'd also like to see a good TS-first OpenAPI client - Fern [0] is probably the closest I've seen.... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• OpenAPI v4 Proposal

  I'm one of the builders of an open source project (buildwithfern.com) to improve client codegen. One of the learnings I've had is that the quality of OpenAPI specs varies widely (like really widely). We wrote a linter that suggests improvements to your OpenAPI before you run the code generators and that's been really helpful for generating idiomatic clients.
