Hello HN, this is Joe and Shan and we built Deplyr.

Building small tools for your team quickly can be a chore. Especially when you have to deal with authentication, integrate to various platforms, and manage servers.

Deplyr is for developers at small-medium size companies that are constantly pinged to get data, run small scripts for non-technical teammates, or who want to create functionality that doesn't exist natively in the platforms you use. We built Deplyr because Shan wasn’t able to set granular access controls in Xero. He was able to use Deplyr to build a tool that his warehousing team uses to look up products in Xero without having full access to all their accounting data.

You simply connect your services with OAuth and, in your code, you get a pre-authentiated object using that services SDK so you don’t worry about API keys. Once your tool is built and tested on the preview environment, you can promote your working version to production and share it with your whole team or specific individuals.

We’ve got a functional product and have a few close friends using it at their companies. We don’t have billing integrated so it’s completely free for now while we try to get traction and validation that this is something people want. It will probably be usage based billing once we do have billing.

The feedback we’re looking for is, is this useful to you or your company? If not, how close is it to solving a need for you? If we had integrations to the platform you use, could you use Deplyr? Is self-hosting a hard requirement for you?

We’ll be in the thread all day. Happy to answer questions, discuss use cases, or hear tough critiques. Thanks for checking it out!
