Hello Product Hunt community!
Thank you so much for checking out AutoInfer. I'm the maker, and I'm incredibly excited to share this major launch with all of you. Here’s a little more about the project.
🤔 Why did I build this?
Like many developers, I've spent countless hours in the trenches, manually writing TypeScript types and JSON schemas from API responses, data files, and database tables. It's a necessary but incredibly repetitive and error-prone part of the development cycle. I realized this wasn't just my problem; it was a universal bottleneck that drains productivity and introduces a tedious grind into our work.
I built AutoInfer to solve this problem once and for all. My goal was to create a single, powerful tool that could intelligently handle this "drudgery," freeing up developers to focus on what truly matters: building innovative features and solving complex problems.
✨ What's new and unique about this launch?
While there are other schema generation tools, this launch of AutoInfer stands out for three key reasons, which we're calling our "launch trifecta":
The Frictionless Web App: This is our biggest differentiator. Most alternatives are CLI-only. We've brought the full power of AutoInfer to the web, allowing anyone to generate schemas instantly in the browser with zero installation and zero sign-up. It's about maximum power with minimum friction.
Comprehensive Database Support: We've expanded beyond files and APIs to include direct schema inference from MongoDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. This bridges a critical gap, making AutoInfer a more complete solution that covers the entire data layer.
A Unified, All-in-One Toolkit: With support for APIs, JSON, CSV, and now major databases, AutoInfer aims to be the definitive, go-to tool for any type or schema inference task a developer might face.
🏆 What am I most proud of?
Without a doubt, I am most proud of providing a complete and flexible solution that meets developers wherever they work.
We didn't want to offer just one way of doing things. For those who need a quick, visual tool without any setup, the Web Version is a game-changer. A student, a junior developer, or a seasoned architect can generate schemas in seconds, breaking down every barrier to entry.
At the same time, for power users who live in the terminal and need to integrate schema generation into their scripts and local workflows, the CLI tool offers unparalleled speed and control. It's robust, scriptable, and built for automation.
It’s this dual approach—offering both immediate web access and a powerful, integrable CLI—that makes me most proud. We've aimed to provide a comprehensive answer to the problem of schema generation, ensuring every developer has the perfect tool for the job. This embodies our core mission: to give time and energy back to all developers by providing every possible solution to their problems.
We've poured our hearts into making AutoInfer the most comprehensive and developer-friendly tool possible. We truly believe it can make a significant difference in your daily workflow, whether you're using the web app or the CLI. I'm here all day to answer your questions and would be honored to get your feedback.
Thank you for your support!
