So what? How is this interesting to anyone who doesn't already follow their blog?
Why is again the boring promo of 37 signals on the homepage of HN?
Indeed, and I would flag this post, except my flagging privileges have been revoked. Probably because I too often flagged boring promo stuff that offered nil actionable information, such as this post, the kind of thing so many others now deem important.
Github is increasingly often being used as a generic content storage than a code repository. I wonder how that affects Github infrastructure and business model.
Wouldn't the GitHub wiki pages be more appropriate for this?
I am a huge fan of github, but browsing through the APIs, I don't feel like its the right format for hosting APIs. Its really hard to navigate and get a sense of what all the functions are and how they link together.
Agreed. Still - having letting your users send you pull-requests to the documentation is a good idea. My company apiary.io is building API documentation tools that take the open git repo benefits but generate a sensible-looking documentation.
