This project is precisely for devs who dislike codegen and want to just ship products fast.

1. Design your API in yaml 2. Run a mock API 3. Develop the App, iterate mock API 4. Implement backend and ship

No code generation needed. Generate types if you want.

How is designing an API in YAML “fast”? Isn’t using code much, much faster for the average dev?
Speaking personally as a full stack engineer, unless the backend is completely trivial to implement I find it much faster and more efficient to write and iterate JSON schema while implementing frontend features than actually implement backend logic first.
