I tried Voiden and like the idea, but in the end I think the notebook format felt a bit too freeform for an API tool. To me the point of an API tool is clarity of what I am doing and how they translates into code.

On a product note, I don't think the logo matches the name at all.

That why I love the git-backed notebook format. You can add clarity and explain what it's doing and how it translates into code.

thanks for the points- on the product comment: in what way you think it doesn't fit? genuinely interested.

I suppose part of the problem is that I don't understand why "Voiden" in the first place, but if we assume Voiden is a good name:

The logo neither says "voids" nor "API tool". It is a blocky infinity symbol that to me means nothing in-context. Also the duotone and slight asymmetry (of a normally symmetric symbol) gives hints of duality/gemini, which also means nothing to me in the context of what the tool is and the name that it has.

Not parent, but the name makes me think of void, so nothing, while the logo is a infinity symbol, so everything, seems like opposites :)
