BackFlow Lets Teams Visually Design API Flows Before Coding
BackFlow is a visual platform for API-first design, enabling drag-and-drop composition of API flows with components like Web Browser, API, Redis, and Worker. It aims to simulate full request/response flows before writing code, positioning itself as a Figma + Postman hybrid. The project is currently seeking feedback on concept, usability, and frontend design.

The idea of a visual API design tool is promising, but BackFlow faces stiff competition from established players like Postman and Insomnia, and its success will hinge on execution and community adoption.
