Show HN: Stripe-quality API client libraries with a single button click TL;DR- Libninja will generate world-class client libraries for you, without you needing to fiddle with openapi-generator, maintain build pipelines, and so forth. If you just want Rust, reach out, and I'll create your client library at no cost, because I want to help Rust's ecosystem grow. -- Hi HN, I got into Rust in a big way about 9 months ago. While the language is quickly maturing, one large gap in the ecosystem is immature or non-existent client libraries for common API services like Plaid, Stripe, Twilio, Github, Slack, and so on. The existing openapi-generator templates create Rust libraries that don't even compile out of the box, so I started down the rabbit hole of creating a Rust-based toolchain to generate Rust client libraries based on an OpenAPI spec. Rust is an incredible language to build codegen tools in, because of algebraic data types, Rust macro system, and Rust's incredibly powerful libraries for AST transformation (quote, syn, and more - almost solely due to dtolnay - thank you!) Before long, I realized it's a common painpoint for API companies to maintain build pipelines, tweak openapi-generator templates, and so forth, to get client library generation working. I added support for more languages, and soon after, Libninja was born. If you're an API company, Libninja will generate world-class client libraries for you. Client libraries: - help your users integrate faster (meaning you get revenue faster) - reduce the number of bug reports and support requests (because there's no ambiguity about using your API) - Give your users a phenomenal developer experience (editor autocomplete, API documentation in docstrings, and more) PS- If you just want a Rust client, reach out, and I'll create your client library at no cost, because I want to help Rust's ecosystem grow. https://ift.tt/VKcrT1D September 12, 2022 at 11:45PM
Women Pioneers at Muni: Adeline Svendsen and Muni’s First Newsletter By Jeremy Menzies To close out Women’s History Month, here’s a look back at one woman whose work to bring Muni staff together in the late 1940s created a legacy that lives on to this day. Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
