This 18-year-old just raised $3.5 million to help developers easily add capabilities to their apps | TechCrunch

'RapidAPI, a two-year-old, San Francisco-based startup that enables developers to easily create a back-end for their apps, has raised $3.5 million in seed funding. '

'RapidAPI has meanwhile created what are essentially big repositories of translator units, “so we don’t need an API company to change anything. '

'In the meantime, among the most-used APIs by developers who visit its platform?'

' The Spotify API and the Google Search API. '

'The round was led by Martin Casado at Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from FundersClub, SV Angel and Green Bay Advisors. '

I understand why he is doing this but in the end it is not going to be helpful. Quit the opposite.

The problems you will get is:

• Yet another framework to learn, that takes away resourced, and CPU cycles.
• Someone has to keep it up to date all the time
• You will add stuff to your app that only make the app more complex. You add stuff that the app did not need in the first place
• The biggest issue: If everyone can do it that, you will end up an explosion of thousands of badly developed apps poisoning the well and make people lose interest in apps because they all suck.
