Voiden is now open source.
Today, almost every company has it's open-source projects. It has become a norm.And there is truth to it, giving something back to the community should not feel like a grand gesture.
At this moment let us remind us ourselves of our origin story.When we started, the world didn’t need yet another Postman clone.It didn’t need another incremental improvement on X or a slightly faster version of Y.
We weren’t interested in polishing an existing category.We wanted to rethink what it actually feels like to work with APIs in the modern world.To build a tool that felt less like a cockpit of buttons and more like a bridge - between the developer and their intent.Voiden took the long way round.
It is, of course, far from perfect. There are a thousand things that could be improved, refined, rethought.And now it’s open source, which brings two feelings.
First, there’s excitement.The kind that comes from letting the world finally see, it it's truest form what we have accomplished, togather.And then there’s the other one.
The quieter awareness that every decision is now publicly visible.That somewhere out there, some very smart people are already forming an opinion about a choice we made.
This scrutiny is healthy. We do not want to become an ideological echo-chamber.Open-sourcing Voiden invites exactly that - healthy scrutiny.We can not be world class, if we can not defend, with utmost sincierity and gratitude, the choices we have made.We can not be world class if we can not learn from our own mistakes.
This was impossible without all of you, without each one of you.I am proud of all of you to accomplish this, and you should also be proud of this accomplishment.
Let us all remember this is not a destination itself, just a step to beocme something greater.
Godspeed.
