Been building this for a few weeks now but it’s really starting to take shape, idea came from work where I had been setting up an old project and the documentation had outdated references and code that made the whole process more difficult.

With that in mind I thought it would be a fun idea to build a markdown editor for developers that allows you to integrate with projects and environments on your machine and write code blocks that can actually run and output results in the markdown, the fun part is blocks share a session so you can export variables in one block and use them in the next! even across different languages.

The app has all the traditional markdown tools you could need but also has things like a built in terminal, version control though git allowing you to create a repo from the markdown editor and commit changes or revert to a different version and view all the history of the file too

There’s loads more I want to build into this but would love to hear what people think, I’m gonna make a site to download the application and it’ll be free to use under mit license, let me know thoughts!

Whenever I start a new project I almost always structure the API the same, following clean architecture and principles to ensure scalability and consistency, but the initial setup for the API project often takes hours even after doing it dozens of times, even with a template project I use it still takes a lot of time to write out all the handlers, commands and queries, database logic etc.

So from that frustration I decided to build Foundry. Define your entities, relationships, endpoints, validation logic, and database provider visually and foundry generates a ready to run api following clean architecture with CQRS via MediatR and EF Core, supporting multiple db providers.

The generated code includes standard class libraries for the api, application, infrastructure, domain, and persistence layer with the correct references and includes logic for handling base entity configuration, commands and queries with MediatR handlers and ef core fluent api configuration including configuration fk delete behaviour and scalar docs wired in. It compiles first time and connects to your chosen database on first run.

Right now the tool is free to use and I’m looking for people who have felt this pain to try it out and see what’s broken or missing, I’m sure there are definitely issues to iron out but I’m looking for some brutal feedback on it all!
