BioDrop VS mockoon

I've started My Open Source Journey by Contributing to one of their Open Source project LinkFree (Currently Known as BioDrop) and the Community members Helped me in that process!

A few months later, Biodrop, another open-source project, followed the same implementation that we used in our project to enable the embedding of their cards on other websites.

As this kind of large repository includes both frontend and backend, understanding the codebase and setting it up locally was quite hard, and for some, I did not had the necessary infrastructure or software in the system by the time. But gitpod.io was really helpful here in setting up the few projects that are integrated with it. Gitpod is a cloud-based development platform. It provided a seamless and ready-to-code environment, ease the complexities of local setup. In this process, I made contributions to the Biodrop and freecodecamp.

I have also contributed to other open source projects, including EddieHub, Forem, and my own.

I follow a lot of projects from different backgrounds, like Kubernetes, Docker, Preevy my Livecycle etc. But I want to give a special mention to BioDrop from the EddieHub Community. It's an awesome project that helps you connect to your audience with a single link. I'm also a maintainer and focus more on the DevOps side of things.

LinkFree connects to your audience with a single link. It allows you to showcase the content you create and your projects in one place, making it easier for people to find, follow and subscribe.

They seem to develop some stuff like a linktree alternative and a first issue finder.

Mockoon - Used as a logging server instead of using print in the console.

Hopefully, 2024 is the year I can stop freelancing and live the dream! Work on an open-source project I love while not feeling guilty about not bringing enough money home :D

The project I'm working on is https://mockoon.com

Mockoon- Mockoon is the easiest and quickest way to design and run mock REST APIs.

Startup Name / URL: Mockoon (https://mockoon.com)

If you are looking for something with a GUI, I made https://mockoon.com It's open source, supports Faker.js and has a CLI to run the mocks in your CI env (or elsewhere).

I maintain an open-source app built with Electron. It serves tens of thousands of users every months and nobody complained in 5 years that it is being built with Electron. Not saying that Electron is perfect, and that it couldn't be a bit more performant, but as a solo maintainer (and entrepreneur) it helps me ship something that save people time. The burden of maintaining an application is already huge. Having to juggle with multiple environments would be a hassle and I definitely wouldn't do it.

That being said, if a "drop-in" alternative would be available I would probably try to switch at one point. But the alternative would have to be on par with the ecosystem (including packaging, binaries signing, etc.), the community, the ease of use... I don't think there is such a thing yet.

The app, if you are interested: https://mockoon.com

Company: https://mockoon.com

I recommend Mockoon https://mockoon.com/ it’s simple like Postman without create mock api server with code

This may not be what you're looking for, but have you seen Mockoon?
