DuckRails - I created an opensource tool for developers

I have created an opensource development tool called DuckRails.

Its main purpose is to allow developers to quickly mock API endpoints that for many possible reasons they can't reach at a specific time.

DuckRails home page

You can find installation instructions here (including setup via docker image).
You can browse the project's GitHub wiki pages for usage guides.

Thank you! Regarding the name, I combined:

Duck: "If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck"
+
Rails: because it's a Ruby on Rails application

Hahaha a bit misleading though as I initially thought it's somewhat Rails-limited.
