Hey /r/selfhosted

I'm building Scalar: a modern Swagger UI / Redoc alternative

Here a breakdown of some of my favourite features:

**Customizable**: Bring your own brand. Change colour schemes / fonts
with easy access to all our CSS variables.

**Built in Rest API Client:**  Test API endpoints directly in the
references with a sleek modern lightweight API Client

\+  many more features such as :

* Integrations with Vue, React, CDN, Fastify, Hono, Express, NestJS
and soon to be many more
* Day mode / Night mode
* Support for OpenAPI 3.1, OpenAPI 3.0, and Swagger 2.0
* Code samples to show off your API in most popular languages
* Free hosting with an \*.apidocumentation .com subdomain

We're just getting started and have a lot of cool stuff planned for
2024! If any of you have any feature requests, help, or even if you
just want us to make you your own custom theme don't hesitate to reach
out!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic month :)

That looks really neat (see...). The only thing is that I would prefer
it as a plugin for vite like https://github.com/webfansplz/vite-
plugin-vue-devtools/tree/main does, because I dont want to ship it
with my build.

Oh interesting, so you’d only want to see the references in dev mode?

I’ll open a ticket cause that’s an interesting integration!
