Not because the project demands it, but because &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; want the practice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My ACC dashboard project — &lt;a href="https://github.com/prule/laptime-insights-server" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;laptime-insights-server&lt;/a&gt;
 — is a Ktor-based REST API. I added OpenAPI annotations and a Swagger UI. It&amp;rsquo;s not strictly necessary for a personal tool running on localhost. I added it because it&amp;rsquo;s something you&amp;rsquo;d do on a real project, and because the result is genuinely useful.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
