pointlessjon··on PostgREST
I like this idea. Especially helpful for prototyping a web UI against an arbitrary existing dataset. PostgREST is much more full featured and as commented by a few others “production-ready”(?) but if you’re into this and looking for something a bit more naive but just as accessible I wrote a similar utility to expose some Postgres data over http: https://github.com/daetal-us/grotto

Excellent work.
pointlessjon··on GitHub for Mac
I never said you are completely, objectively wrong. I just disagreed with a point.. On that note, I see nothing untidy.

No hostility meant by "you argue". You provided a critique, an argument. I'd open the dictionary... ;)

You argue that spacing produces clutter, but I completely disagree. Clutter is shoving tons of information together without spacing.
pointlessjon··on Why Not Tumblr
Totally agree with both of you.

Tumblr is one of the simplest api's I have ever worked with, though. To decide not to use it because there isn't some one-click dashboard csv export or migration tool.. that's such a weird decision. That's like saying I don't want to use [redacted social networking site] because it doesn't feature [one-click-tool] to move to [alternative redacted social networking site]. I mean, I guess. But, if your concern is about ownership of the data and you're treating their service/app as a datasource, I'm sorry but you're going to have to get your hands a little dirty to export that data into your preferred format.
