Hi HN I built ApiNotes Mock Server, a small tool that generates a live mock REST API from an OpenAPI (3.0/3.1) or Swagger 2.0 spec.

The goal was to remove all friction when you just need a mock API quickly:

No sign-up required to create an anonymous mock Supports paste, file upload, or URL fetch Produces a base URL + an auto-generated endpoints list Anonymous mocks currently expire after 72 hours (you can register to keep them / get higher limits) Link: https://apinotes.io/mock-server

I’d love feedback on:

What would make you trust a mock server like this for real projects? Any features you’d expect (auth simulation, latency/errors, stateful mocks, webhooks, etc.)? Is the 72-hour model reasonable, or should the free tier work differently? Thanks, happy to answer any questions and share implementation details.
