Hey Dev.to crew!👋🏻 If you’re knee-deep in #100DaysOfCode or just hacking on that weekend side project, you know the drill: Prototyping hits a wall when you need fake APIs yesterday. Setting up a mock server? Yawn. JSON placeholders? Meh. Enter MockMan—my latest VS Code extension that’s about to 5x your build speed. No backend drama, just pure frontend flow.Why MockMan? (Because Time is Your Most Precious Resource)Live Endpoints in 5 Seconds: Click, generate, copy—boom, CRUD-ready APIs right in your editor. Test auth flows, e-commerce carts, or user data without leaving VS Code. 50+ Ready Templates: From fake users and products to payments and posts—pick one, tweak if you want, and go. Covers everything from simple GETs to full POST/PUT/DELETE chains. Zero Setup, Total Control: No servers, no installs beyond the extension itself. Generate realistic data on the fly, customize schemas, and even export for later. Open-source magic at its finest.

I built this because I was tired of context-switching during sprints. Last week, it shaved 2 hours off my auth prototype—now it’s your turn to mock like a boss. Free forever, because good tools shouldn’t gatekeep.Quick Start? Dead Simple.Fire up VS Code. Hit Ctrl+Shift+X (or Cmd+Shift+X on Mac) for Extensions. Search MockMan—install in a blink. Sidebar icon lights up: Dive in, mock away.
