I built QuestAPIs — a gamification backend for developers (25-person beta)

Hey developers,

What if adding progression systems to your app didn’t mean building an entire backend from scratch?

That’s why I built QuestAPIs.

QuestAPIs is a modular backend platform that helps developers add game-inspired systems to apps, dashboards, tools, bots, and prototypes without reinventing the wheel.

Think progression systems, rewards, inventory, quests, and engagement loops... exposed as APIs.

Current modules:

⚔️ Player API
Create and manage player profiles

⚔️ Quest Engine API
Create, assign, and complete quests

⚔️ Reward API
XP, currencies, levels, and progression tracking

⚔️ Inventory API
Store and manage player-owned items

⚔️ Shop API
Purchases, spending, and item acquisition

⚔️ API Key Management
Secure access, request limiting, beta onboarding

Example use cases:

• SaaS onboarding progression
• productivity gamification
• Discord communities
• educational learning systems
• habit tracking
• prototype game systems
• experimental developer tools

Built with:

• Node.js
• Express
• Supabase
• React
• Vercel
• Render

Public Beta is Open

I’m launching a controlled beta to gather real developer feedback before wider release.

Beta access includes:

• 25 tester limit
• 100 requests per day
• 7-day beta access
• automatic API key email delivery
• automatic waitlist if full

I’m specifically looking for serious developers willing to test real workflows, break things, report bugs, and help shape what this becomes.

This is still early, but the long-term vision is much bigger:

Making gamification infrastructure accessible to builders, then evolving into smarter systems with automation and AI-powered progression.

If you like building weird, useful, engaging things... I’d love your feedback.
