Incentivize developers to help you!

I'm currently building a micro SaaS. I stumbled upon an idea which I think is worthwhile. Hence I created a landing page and took this opportunity to make my first post on IH.(I've been a lurker for a long time, just commenting, appreciating and encouraging others in the comment section πŸ˜„)

The problem:

It is easy to consume APIs using a library/SDK in the programming language of your choice.

But as developers we would rather work on our product than on creating multiple client SDKs.
( If you are a developer, I'm sure you'll agree with me! )

Also, we might not know all the programming languages used by our API consumers.

Instead of investing time and effort, why not let the community help you with that?

The solution:

A service that lets indie hackers or companies to run bounty programs to incentivize the developer community to build open source libraries for their REST APIs.

You can also use the service to incentivize people to build apps on your platform.

What do you get from this?

βœ… You save some precious time.

βœ… Libraries in multiple programming languages.

βœ… Better adoption of your api and fewer support tickets.

What do developers get from this?

Cash prizes or discount codes for your product.

It is upto you. Make it as enticing and rewarding as possible with the budget you have.

Finally the landing page

Do register on the page if you find this service appealing!
