I am cofounding a new SaaS "starter pack", but for a very specific niche. This product aims to serve as the frontend and middleware for anyone planning to launch an API-as-a-Service product. The idea for this product is straightforward: once you've built an awesome API service and are ready to share it with the world, you've only done like 20% of the work. You need to build an entire UI so that your customers can create accounts, issue API keys, set up billing information, keep track of API usage, logging, admin UI's to track all of this, and the list goes on...

Our product, which we're calling "RestEasy", is the 'as-a-Service' to your API. You're going to be able to stand up a completely white-labelled user portal on your own custom URL, complete with your own color scheme and logo. We will also provide white-labelled admin portals so you can manage your users, API keys, pricing, check usage logs, some basic analytics, etc.

Check out the homepage and let me know what you think! Are there any specific use cases you would want to see covered in the platform?

Be sure to sign up for the waitlist. We'll be sending out periodic updates along the way to keep you updated on how we're doing.

So there is no actual functionality to try out right now? From what I browsed, the site is essentially a landing page + email signup.
Correct. Sorry to disappoint, but we're very early stage at this time. We'll be releasing more info as we develop the product and collect feedback.
