Open-source admin panel builder for Laravel with 1000+ UI components, used since 2016 by teams at Volkswagen, PwC and Honda.

ZinTrust

A zero-dependency TypeScript framework for building production-ready APIs and microservices with clean architecture already in place.

An AI agent that generates complete API test suites from your existing OpenAPI spec, Postman collection, or cURL commands.

A sync engine that keeps a live copy of your Postgres data on each user's device, so apps feel instant and keep working offline instead of waiting on the network for every action.

Apiable

A ready-made storefront and billing layer that sits on top of your existing API gateway, so external developers can discover, sign up for, and pay to use your APIs without your team building that portal from scratch.
