1. Developing A Tool To Mock APIs With 100K Downloads As A Side Project (2021) ➜

This is a follow up story for Mockoon. If you're interested in reading how they got started, published over 4 years ago, check it out here.

Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.

Hi, my name is Guillaume, I am a full-stack developer, and I created Mockoon a bit more than five years ago. Mockoon is a set of developer tools to make API mocking easier. It includes a desktop application, a command line interface, and various libraries and Docker files to facilitate deployments.

For non-developers, API mocking is a technique that imitates an API that doesn’t exist yet, or to which you don’t have access. It can greatly accelerate the development of an application. Our tools are still open source, and I am thinking about monetization mainly through a cloud offering.

Mockoon has been growing steadily for 5 years, totaling more than 300k downloads, and traffic has doubled in the past year.

Tell us about what you’ve been up to. Has the business been growing?
