I'm the product and engineering director at The New Yorker and this is awesome!

I'm pushing to provide public APIs, and this helps demonstrate why.

Of course, you (or anyone else here) is welcome to come and build it for real (and argue your case for/against dieresis) with direct access to the data.

If you'd like to reëngineer this for TNY, take a peek:

Hi Michael- So glad that you like it! I'd love to hear more about what your team is working on. (I suppose it's not a dieresis on/off switch.) I'll shoot you an email.

This right here is why HN is a great community.

Im an Engineer at the New Yorker!

I can vouch that our team is very awesome.

We allocate time for open source projects, provide a budget for conferences, have a relaxed working environment, and have a very diverse team.

If you are interested, please shoot us a message!
