Developers Waste Time Evaluating Unreliable APIs With No Quality Signal

Developers integrating third-party APIs have no reliable way to assess API quality, uptime history, or maintenance status before committing to integration work. The discovery-to-integration process is heavily front-loaded with trial-and-error that could be avoided with curated quality signals. The builder created a curated API marketplace as a direct response to this gap, confirming the problem is real.
