Hi, HN! I'm Nick and my co-founder, Thomas, and I are building napkin.io to make backend development easier. Napkin is a website that lets you code and instantly deploy endpoints from your browser. We feel building a backend is overly difficult and requires too much boilerplate. Our goal with Napkin is to allow anyone that knows a little Python to instantly code and deploy a scalable backend server, whether that be a Slack bot, an endpoint for a mobile app, or an Alexa integration. No infra or boilerplate needed.
Today we're launching the beta, and we plan on adding a lot more functionality based on user feedback over the coming weeks. Would really appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks!
