Show HN: LintGPT – Write API Style Guides in Natural Language
- Minimizing API calls. The first time you run LintGPT it is pretty slow because it has to run every rule across every part of the API specification (1000s of calls). But we shouldn’t have to repeat that work. Most of the time parameters, properties, etc don’t change and neither do the rules. We’re building caching into our web app to make this fast / save $ for end users.
Happy to answer any questions. I really think there’s a huge use case here for linting all kinds of code, config, database schemas, policies in ways that were never possible before. And personally, I like the idea of having these smart tools guiding me towards making my work better vs generating it all for me — idk something about that just feels good.

Testing for Breaking Changes in Fastify APIs
Recently I was approached by a team that needed help testing their Fastify API for breaking changes. Fastify was making it easy to quickly ship a lot of new functionality, but breaking changes were making it through Code Reviews. They were not finding out the changes were breaking until a consumer emailed them — not good. The developer who reached out saw my work on the Optic project and asked for help.

Why Your Company's Documentation Sucks
Our documentation sucks because it is time-consuming to do documentation properly.
I am hoping to fix this by introducing Optic [0] to automatically handle generating API diffs.

Paw is joining Rapid API
I've recently been using Optic (https://useoptic.com/) which does some cool things in the API tools space, there's potential there to have a CLI UI and they have the history part already but similar to what people are saying here about the web UIs, I don't like theirs much.
