Reviewer scorecard
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“Python script to interactive web app with zero frontend code. The caching and state management work well.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“For data scientists who don't want to learn React, Streamlit is the best option. Quick prototyping and dashboards.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
“The UI options are limited compared to real frontend frameworks. Fine for internal tools, not for customer-facing apps.”
