fadymak··on Show HN: Simple tool to generate mock APIs for testing
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll look into getting that added

I think local storage and keyboard shortcuts might be a good alternative - thanks for the suggestion :)

Thanks for all the feedback! This community is incredible <3

Just pushed a fix that should resolve this while still maintaining state in the URL (using replaceState as suggested by OP).

For now it foregoes the undo/redo. I'll explore implementing it as a separate widget as you suggest in the future.

Not at all, I appreciate that you mentioned this since it seemed normal to me.

Thanks for the tip! I just pushed a fix that uses replaceState instead of push :)

Gotcha. The “clicking around” causes state changes like adding a field which is stored in the URL query parameters.

Initially this was a design decision to make it easy to share the URL of the Mock API you built with other developers. However, I can see this is breaking user expectations - I’ll work on getting that changed so it’s more in line with what users expect.

I appreciate the feedback because initially that felt “natural” to me but I can see how it might not be intuitive to others.

The URL query parameters change when you update the mock API to make sharing easier. The back and forward buttons allow you to undo/redo.

I’ll explore making the changes shareable without appending the state to the URL in that way.

fadymak··on Show HN: Simple tool to generate Open Graph meta tags
Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you find them useful - I’m always open to feedback :)
fadymak··on Show HN: Simple tool to generate Open Graph meta tags
Thanks! imgsrc.io has a paid offering for generating Open Graph and social images so it won’t need to be ad-supported.

I’m building these smaller tools (like the meta tag generator and Open Graph debugger) to make it easier for myself and hopefully others get a well-tested and up-to-date guidance on the recommended meta tags

Hey @adonese :wave: Just wanted to share that I've shipped the API based on your feedback - I hope you find it useful!

Indeed - it seems that the Vercel outage has been resolved! https://www.vercel-status.com/incidents/kpgg9p03x8x0

Hey tompec! Originally that was the idea for imgsrc (hence the name: the `src` attribute in an `img` tag).

I definitely plan on adding support for that in the coming weeks :) When the API is released, it will have both the POST and GET support for generating programatically, on-demand.

Thanks for the support <3

Looks like Vercel is having an incident: https://www.vercel-status.com/incidents/kpgg9p03x8x0

Pretty unfortunate timing

Right now Firefox for Android does not support Intl.Segmenter [1] but it appears that support has been added to nightly [2] and will be released soon!

Sorry about that. I was weighing the pro/con of waiting for support to be released or adding a polyfill but it seems that support is just around the corner from what I can tell from the issue.

eh - I wasn't aware of that site

Hey adonese! I'm definitely planning on exposing an API in the next few weeks - it has been requested quite a few times.

Hey Jason :wave: I've noticed that too - I believe the traffic spike from HackerNews is adding some pressure. It usually loads pretty quick (a few 100 ms max).

It's hosted on Vercel.

Glad to hear you find it useful! Please let me know if you have any feedback :)

Thanks! Right now there is a paid option ($19 / year) where users can remove the watermark and eventually have access to more templates and features.

I also plan on exposing an API which will likely be paid.

Thanks thomaspttn :) I built it to streamline the process of creating OpenGraph images since it was the part I enjoyed the least about writing and sharing content on Social Media platforms.

Edit: Heroku instance should be up now :)

The Heroku instance is currently overwhelmed with all the traffic. You can download the code from the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/coligo-io/real-time-analytics-node-socket...

and run it using: node app.js
