Transcript of From Hackaton to Clickaton, why the API web needs a GUI
Hackton -> ClickatonWhy the API web needs a GUI
APIs are amazing
They are the epitome of division of labor
APIs are the driving force that will enable specialised AI
This is going to lead us to fantastic places
There is just one little problem...
in 2020 we will have 25M developers that is 0.31% of 8B
There are not enough developers to make APIs go mainstream
Who else could implement our APIs?
Let me tell you a little secret...
I am not a developer!
I’m a bio-engineer...
My first startup investigated diagnostics for schizophrenia
But today I run a Drupal consultancy
How did that ever happen?
I got sucked into Drupal because of it’s GUI...
GUIs are gateway drugs for IT products
But this is an old trick that MS Windows showed us long ago
And smart people are already working on this
But is that enough?
When you are removed from the user experience
You risk losing control
You should consider having an open source GUI
Not a stand-alone project
But a plugin for an existing ecosystem
Like Drupal for example
We did this for Context.io’s API and won first runner up
Maybe your API already has an integration
That just needs a little maintance love
But what is a Clickaton?
A Clickaton is a hackaton for Clickers
You should do one, because clickers are the mainstream market
and Clickers need our help
Because right now they probably feel like imposters
If embraced, they will do crazy things for your community

Drupal alone has over a 100k contributing users!
With an existing evangelist infrastructure
