jjmanon Bringing back the Somali shilling

A Somalilander here, Somaliland has a fully established government which is elected by popular vote. In fact, it has one of the most sophisticated and modern voter registration system which uses bio-metric data to detect double voters. Something a number of other African or even first world (i.e. US/EU) can't guarantee.

Somaliland is extremely safe, you can go about your daily life without a hint of any problem. You can walk down the street in the middle of the night without worrying for your safety.

Keeping peace is everyone's business, citizens take ownership of it.

Aside from that, it is a very poor country, but everyone is happy with what little they have.

I was not a Homejoy customer but from a general point of view I reckon you need to communicate to all the customers in your file and clearly let them know the truth about everything. That is the only way that you can redeem yourself from this.

Good luck.

Yes, my question is how can you achieve the .js url to output different json blob depending on the url argument passed. E.g. The same url when passed the following argument returns the output of an article.
