Roadmap: Internationalization based on Accept-Language.

Ironically, if this could be done for certian languages for which there is no simple analogue for "fuck off" (ex: Japanese, where you need an arsenal of slang to suit the various occasions), it would be of great service to mankind.

/linus/:name/:from

Will return content of the form ':name, there aren't enough swear-words in the English language, so now I'll have to call you perkeleen vittupää just to express my disgust and frustration with this crap. - :from'

It appears to do this now, albeit brokenly.

Sweet!

> albeit brokenly

WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE!

And for extra effect, you can also include your own blink tag or javascript : http://foaas.herokuapp.com/donut/bob%3Cscript%3EsetTimeout%2...

Doesn't this mean you can do any kind of cross-site scripting? Like redirect to goatse.cx?

That's not the first service of such kind: see http://natribu.org/en/ (lacks an API however :-)

I wonder if there will be as many comments as usual complaining about any type of profanity.

Well, if there are, you will now have a service to tell them. I think it's the /off/:name/:from method.

Nice one! creative use of technology and gives a vent to instant frustrations..bravo!

Very useful, I think I'll implement this inside of an exception handler :)

how good is the enterprise tech support for this api?

Technology serves people! Nice joke :)

Solid documentation.

is this on github ?
