Designing Trust: How to improve API Adoption & Developer Experience

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

Redesign of the AsyncAPI website during Google Summer of Code 2025 focuses on concrete changes: curated documentation journeys that route newcomers, contributors, and integrators; accessibility fixes like dark mode and keyboard navigation plus semantic HTML; UI polish—cleaner layouts and faster interactions—and an explicit feedback loop. Resulting metrics show daily visits rising from about 1,000 to ~5,000, fewer support tickets, reduced contributor friction, and higher onboarding completion rates that materially increase API adoption.
