I'm working on a site called textmyapi.com (site's not up yet). It's a little SaaS platform that allows you to quickly define commands that can be sent over text messaging to invoke REST APIs. I got the idea when I was out camping and wanted to get some stats from an API that I had but I didn't have great internet connectivity, so I thought it would be fun to wire up my APIs so that I could hit them via text message…

Interesting!

Out of curiosity, how would this work in regards to the character limitations (160 characters I think?) in SMS? What if they're large responses? Is there a hard limit on the total number of text messages sent per request?

I am looking for someone interested on building a quantitative finance API based on QuantLib. See where it is now at https://quantra.io . I have been working with it for a couple of years discontinuously. This is for a small niche but some people showed interest on it during this time. Looking for someone interested to help on the development and to define it. Although is not close to a commercial product I see it be…

"Quantra is a REST wrapper for QuantLib, the indrustry-leading library for quantitative finance."

Howdy - I may be too early to post here as I'm really more interested in a thought partner who has the potential to become a cofounder in ~1yr+ if we decide to launch something. My background is mainly in sales and growth (early at Gigster, ran a venture for Rocket Internet in Berlin, ran a team for the Estonian govt's e-Residency project, Fellow for NYC CTO's Office). I'm really interested in tech in the government…

I've been interested for a long time in building digital infrastructure / public works software, considering ideas for software tools to help communities and cities offer digital services to constituents. My personal goal is to better connect citizens and their elected leadership and improve civic engagement. How best to get in touch?

Hi, I'm Toby and I'm trying to build a platform that allows people to build SaaS without having to write code. I started a couple years ago before I'd ever heard of the #nocode fad. I simply believed (and still believe) that the next popular social network will be built by someone who doesn't know how to code. I've become a bit obsessed with trying to figure what a platform might look like that makes that possible. F…

If you cover the middle ground call me, I subscribe (as a customer) . What I mean, I know how to code and am (sometimes) dreaming about making an SaaS. But even before exploring idea space, I feel the whole surrounding infrastructure, like data safety, reliable login, payment (big one) and even CSS layouts are all a big turn off for me. These things every SaaS must have. And is really everybody reinventing the wheel? I would probably try to buy it. (not sure if such things exist). This seems at least a problem space you need to solve before the no code thingy.

I worked for many years in the generic API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) business in Mexico and just started a company in Europe to connect suppliers and clients from Asia/Europe with clients in Latin America. I already build a platform to organize/automatize all the technical and commercial interchange of information and had really great feedback from my prior clients, but I just don't want to do it on my own.…

Where can I contact you?
