cameronrohanion Mario Maker 2 API

This is so cool hope to play around with it tonight. I converted the API to a OAS/swagger file and temporarily hosted them here to play around with while the site is hugged to death https://mariomaker2api.apidocumentation.com/

Can certainly respect that approach!

This is definitely a more Javascript heavy approach but without JS you can't get some nice quality of life features like the embedded REST API client for experimenting with endpoints.

As for LLMs we have had the best experience passing them Swagger files directly and not relying on an intermediate parse to text.

They sure are. In hindsight the title is a little ambiguous but OSS is the standard for this type of developer tooling.

Besides being huge fans of OSS software we really feel like packages like this only make sense in an Open Source environment. Licensing for developer tooling can't be restrictive or it's just a hassle to use. There great open source business models around support, service, and hosting.

You can indeed download the websites and host them yourself :)

cameronrohanion Launchaco – Instantly generate a responsive, free, website

Thanks for the kind words. We honestly would rather people's emails then any money at all. We're working really hard to make good design more accessible, and monetization will certainly come down the line! Plus we already make a bit of money with our other tool listed on the website :)

Agreed, I think there's simple things we can do to help with this. The UX is flawed atm, with out a doubt.

I recently read a really great book about issues similar to this called "politics of design". Making things more accessible to everyone honestly really excites me. I hope that every time I ever make something I get called out on all of it's accessibility flaws. So thank you for bringing it to light :)

That is indeed a big problem, we're deploying some changes atm that should hopefully fix this. Sorry about that.

Thank you for this enlightening comment, and apologies that our website isn't more accessible. We'll be looking in to this through out the day and will try to add some better html to accommodate for anyone who may be in a similar boat to you. I'm really sorry we didn't think about this stuff up front, and will do my best to from here on out.

I hate how long it takes me to find a name for my new projects so I made launchaco. It's super simple but has saved me so much time when ever exploring names for new projects.
