100% done-for-you custom libraries for your API

Hey Product Hunt,

It's way easier to use an API if it's wrapped in a nice library. At some point, every developer-focused product that wants to take its UX seriously will decide that a library for each language is the best path. But actually doing that is a lot of work.

I've been in that situation multiple times in my career, building and maintaining libraries for lots of languages. It's mostly thankless work, a distraction from working on the core product, and hardly noticed (other than the box it tics) unless something goes wrong. It also slows down the team.

Often someone's full-time (extra) job becomes keeping one of the libraries up to date. This is very common if only one engineer knows that specific language. Other times you might add "updating all the libraries" as part of the process to shipping any feature which slows down the speed you can change things drastically. The dream would be just generating the libraries auto-magic-ally but despite working on this kind of thing for a long time I haven't seen a great end-to-end solution that can work for everyone.

Skeleton Systems is here to solve this problem for companies so they can focus on the API and their core business. We'll take care of the client libraries. We can ship them in multiple languages and handle many of the more time-consuming tasks like publishing them, keeping them up to date as things change, and building examples or guides.

We are just getting started and looking for our first batch of clients. If you're feeling the pain, or even better, dreading starting a library project because it just feels like too much, we'd love to talk and see if we can help! If not we just hope you enjoy some goofy skeletons and tell your friends.

We're happy to be here
