Show HN: Wildcard API – Data Loading Like React Server Components, Today

React announced React Server Componets [1] and an interesting feature is the ability to load data without having to create an API.
You can already do that today with Wildcard API. I've used it at many projects now and it's quite a pleasure to work with! It feels more natural than REST/GraphQL/Express enpdoints; you simply define and call functions remotely, that's it!
I've tried many things to popularize Wildcard but no luck so far. Although it's used at couple of companies so that's quite a success for me already :)
Let me know what you think, or if you have any questions regarding APIs in general :-)
I'm also working on a couple of neat things such as session management[2], realtime[3], and a new super minimalistic/simple query language[4].
