About
We cover the business of software: launches, funding, growth and the tools teams actually pay for. And we keep the original Bored API running.
The Bored API started in 2019 as an open-source side project by Drew Thoennes: a free JSON API that returns a random thing to do when you're bored. It became a favorite first API for coding tutorials, bootcamps and developer blogs, and hundreds of them still link here.
The original site went offline in 2024. In October 2026 we brought it back with the original endpoints, the same response format and the same 190+ activities, so the tutorials that point here work again.
SaaS launches and major releases, funding rounds and acquisitions, how software companies grow, and hands-on reviews and comparisons of business software. Written for founders, operators and the people who choose the tools their teams use.
