I built SeatLayer because every time I looked into adding reserved seating to a ticketing or booking product, the options were the same: build a seat map from scratch (weeks of dev time), or bolt on a bloated, ticketing-specific platform that wanted control of your whole checkout flow just to get an interactive seat picker. As a developer, I wanted something that behaved like infrastructure, not a platform: a clean API/SDK you drop into your existing stack, a visual venue designer so non-technical teammates can build seat maps without touching code, and pricing that only charges for confirmed seats instead of punishing you for traffic. The approach evolved a lot along the way — early versions were much more "batteries included," but the more developers I talked to, the more I stripped it back to just the seat-mapping problem done really well (including 3D seat views so end users can actually preview what they're booking) and got out of the way of everything else in their stack. Would love to hear what you think, and happy to answer any questions about the API, the venue designer, or how the pricing works!
