Given the tiny number of APIs supported today, encouraging the community to add more APIs seems like it should be the #1 priority.
I didn't see any sort of tutorial on adding new API's on either the homepage or the GitHub readme.
Is there a tutorial on how to add a new API? Given the tiny number of APIs supported today, encouraging the community to add more APIs seems like it should be the #1 priority. I didn't see any sort of tutorial on adding new API's on either the homepage or the GitHub readme.
We're getting a few community contributions out this week into Revert in a very hands-on way.
This way we'd learn how to best optimise the product to allow for community contributed integrations at scale and the tutorial will be basis these learnings.
We launched v early tbh!
Hi HN! Allen & Jatin here, co-founders of Revert.dev Integrations require a lot more engineering time, resources, and ongoing maintenance than you would first expect. When building your own integrations you have to deal with challenges, such as: - unreliable third party integration endpoints, which fail or hang more often than you think; - monitoring and reliability of the integration code; dealing with different sch…
Do you have any resources for the planning/architecting phase of developing a unified API like this? I work in a similar space, but for physical hardware, and one challenge we've frequently encountered is the somewhat massive variety of how our vendors handle certain tasks behaviorally within their platform.
Maybe just a book a time with us or DM us Twitter and we can take it from there?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
* vs Nango - we think they have great support for OAuth management and do support more APIs than ours on the surface (atleast at the moment). Nango is based on Pizzly an existing OSS project which they built on top of. We're building it from the ground up. Even though they seem to have more integrations, our integration support is better than them in terms of the depth of use-cases allowed (more standard objects supp…
I love these kinds of products, and welcome any competition in the space. But, this comparison to Nango doesn't seem accurate, so I feel inclined to comment. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you say... > Even though [Nango] seem to have more integrations Nango has north of 100 integrations, Revert seems to have 4 atm? > our integration support is better than them in terms of the depth of use-cases allowed (more st…
> Even though [Nango] seem to have more integrations
We agree Nango has more integrations and we love OSS software so I'm with you on this. Credit where credit is due and we don't want to make false claims at all. We never claimed to have more integrations than them. I'm not sure how what I posted came off as dishonest.
> but seemingly only for picking out response key if they're strings, not any "pick from object", or "compute based on multiple properties"?)
I'd say we support this perhaps in a different way.
I have not used Nango myself to comment on specific ways it handles data vs how we handle it.
Its great that you're liking Nango and we want OSS/better product to win regardless.
Is there anything like this for interacting with the various social networks? I'm mainly just interested in a common auth + posting interface.

I live deep in the enterprise world. A quick search shows no outstanding/pending integrations with Concur, Ariba, Successfactors, SAP BTP etc.
Happy to take issues here and we could prioritise them based on the interest of our current customers/prospects: https://github.com/revertinc/revert/issues
I would really like to be able to be able to pull data out of Salesforce, Pipedrive etc and into our ETL tool (Easy Data Transform), so that users can clean/reshape/reformat the data. However our software is a desktop C++/Qt application, so it doesn't look like a good fit with this. Does anyone know anything comparable for desktop (free or paid)?
I don't see why this may not work for your use-case too. I'm happy to chat more if you want to just talk tech here and maybe avoid engineering work for your use-case.
i have probably seen 10 products in this space come and go in way less time than one would think both proprietary and open source. proprietary are either shut down or acquired and made unusable by price explosion or crippling of features. the open source ones always turn stale way before even half of that ambitious integration list has a checkmark, which makes these kind of a joke. relying on something like this seem…
Well business/startups are tough are in general & more die than survive so you're probably right on those stats.
Would love to know more about your experience specifically though? Which products did you try? What was the use-case you had that made you add your own integration?
I'd love to chat more on this if you'd be up for it. :)
