Hey everyone! 👋 I’m the founder of CodeMash, and I wanted to give you all a proper introduction and share the story behind this platform—one that’s been a huge part of my life for the past 13 years. CodeMash started as a solution to a common developer headache: building and managing backends efficiently, without all the repetitive work. Back then, the idea of a “backend-as-a-service” wasn’t mainstream, but I wanted a way to create dynamic database schemas that could instantly generate REST APIs—no manual coding or endless boilerplate. At its core, CodeMash was about flexibility: define your data structure, and you’d automatically get a secure API with built-in authentication and authorization. No more reinventing the wheel for every new project. As time went on, the platform grew. What began as a dynamic database and API engine evolved into a modular system. We added features like file storage, email and push notifications, payments, logging, and more. Each module was designed to plug right in—so you could quickly add new capabilities to your app without wrestling with integrations or infrastructure. For years, we used CodeMash internally to build mobile apps for clients and ourselves. It became our secret weapon—powering everything from simple MVPs to more complex solutions, always letting us move faster and focus on what made each project unique. Now, after more than a decade of refining the platform, I’m rebuilding CodeMash for the modern era. The goal is to give developers, founders, and small teams the same superpowers: spin up backends in minutes, manage everything from one place, and scale as you grow. Whether you’re a frontend dev who hates backend chores or a founder who just wants to launch without hiring a whole team, CodeMash is here to help. I’m running this solo—handling everything from development to support—so you’ll always get a direct line to the person who built it. I’m excited to share what I’ve learned, answer your questions, and see what you’ll create.
