Backend for my startup name generator

Startup Name Generator

This is a silly project that I made just to mess around with Next.js based APIs.

You click a button and get a randomized startup-sounding name.

The even simpler frontend code is here: https://github.com/sjotterman/namr-frontend

API routes with REST

Next.js ships with API routes, which provide an easy solution to build your own API. This example shows how it can be used to create your REST api.
