Sources of Conviction, in Building LiveAPI

We are a small team of passionate engineers, working on LiveAPI for the past six months or so.

We have overcome numerous challenges over time: betting on new technology, proving it through R&D efforts, conceptualizing the product, simplifying user flows to their bare essentials, figuring out how to explain and present the product to the world, and solving broken payment gateway connections.

Despite the massive number of challenges thrown our way, we've maintained a sharp focus on delivering value to engineering organizations across the world.

On reflection, here is a list of things that keep us going—or, as I like to put it, our Sources of Conviction:

• We are solving an old problem in a new way.
• Our approach cuts down days of effort to mere minutes.
• We are bootstrapped, and our goal is to build the most convenient API documentation generator for customers. We are 100% focused on benefiting the customer.
• Our organization, Hexmos, has built a culture of responsibility, commitment, and excellence over the past four years.
• The team is young but, in many ways, wiser beyond its (median) age thanks to heavy investments in daily reflection, reading, and hands-on learning. Customers benefit from the energy of a young team combined with the values of a more experienced one.
• We are riding the wave of interest in "let's see what AI can do" happening around the world. While the timing may not be perfect, it is undoubtedly favorable.
• All of our team members are engineers themselves, committed to solving a problem that impacts their own day-to-day lives.
• We have put effort into understanding both the market and ourselves to clarify our stance on pricing. We won't rely on open source to sustain us; instead, we aim to provide a great product and humbly request fair compensation for our work.
• We are the first to take the initiative of applying AI to the documentation generation problem.
• We are willing to learn, listen, and adapt as market conditions change to make LiveAPI Super-Convenient.

These are my thoughts on why we believe in LiveAPI and its potential to improve the lives of engineering organizations worldwide.
