Quite honestly, I don't get it. Why would anyone want their product to depend on a third party (= point of failure) for something as trivial as storing a string in a database and calling a markdown processor?
Probably wouldn't for that, but there's quite a bit more going on there, not the least of which is XPath and JSONPath querying.
I'll be posting more on this later, but this is just a part of another project as well. But since it has some uses as is, I thought I'd post it now.
Hmm, still, with Postgres supporting XPath queries natively, I feel that your added value is rather slim, I must admit.. It doesn't have JSONPath, but it does have something else that comes very close (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-json.htm...)
Unencrypted basic auth as a means to authenticate REST API access is a bad idea. Acquire an SSL certificate.
Sorry about that! Yeah, that's something a few people use to track & graph things (either y/n questions, 0-n question, or numeric questions) via scheduled emails.
I actually rather like it. I had a similar idea a year or two ago which became something more like a text snippet site, but I originally had ambitions along these lines.
Thanks! Mind sharing your email (or pinging me)? I'd love to hear about what you found.
Whoops, forgot to check back on my HN comments! I've signed up with rob@afternoonrobot.co.uk.
I actually am searching for a service like this. But I'm very concerned about privacy, IP logging and stuff.
Ping me at isaachodes at gmail.com if you have specific questions (and I've love to hear about your use-case as well). Encrypted data at rest and transit are upcoming (SSL is very soon, encrypted by the secret key (as an optional measure) is coming later, if there's demand for it).
Offer a full text search instead of encryption at rest.
