Demand for highly customizable fake REST APIs

Been considering building a highly customizable fake REST API service, think JSONplaceholder on steroids. Is there a need for it? Would anyone use it at a price point?

Sounds like an intriguing idea! What specific features would make your fake REST API service stand out from JSONplaceholder? How would you determine the ideal price point for users?

@jake_strack Hi Jake!
I’m essentially also trying to solve my own problem here which is that, in a lot of cases JSONplaceholder falls short if your prototype MVP needs something that is not a list of users, photos, todos or products.
Mine would allow users to write a schema and call APIs which return the kind of data they want. And possibly have multiple projects. The same schema could then be exported for creating the database as is
@tanmay_naik very interesting
