Focused, ergonomic, no bloat

Modern web development is dominated by massive platforms that were once revolutionary but now enforce rigid standards, bloated ecosystems, and recurring costs. In the age of AI and automation, it’s time to challenge some of dominant models.

We need a new generation of tools that prioritize:

• Development Ergonomics – Fast startup, smooth debugging, responsive UIs, and low cognitive load. Tools should feel like extensions of thought, not barriers to progress.
• Specialization – Purpose-built tools as clear solutions. One-size-fits-all solutions often fit nothing well.
• Intuitiveness – Clean defaults, zero-config options, and learning curves that respect your time.
• Composability – Interoperable tools that are understood and usable by AI agents.

Our mission at API surf is to build the next generation of developer tools and libraries that respect your time, intelligence, and ownership.
