Hey HN. I’ve had this idea for a while, and today I’m finally getting it out there! I have no expectations on what people will send and what requests will be made, but I’m planning on sending back a response to every request. What do you think?
I don't really get it. could you put some kind of about page or something to explain it? or background?
Good thought. I'm trying to keep the explanation to a minimum, as I don't want to influence the types of requests that I receive. Ideally, people mail a request (whatever they think that to be) to me, and I will respond accordingly. (For example, the request could be a sentence, or JSON, or a doodle, or a picture of a cat, and then the response would be whatever makes sense for the request.) Perhaps I'll add a diagram that outlines the process, so that it's more clear without damaging the creativity of the requests that I hope to receive.
This is so great by any means.
Thank you! Hopefully I'll be receiving a few requests in the mail soon so I can send out my first responses!
No documentation?
There's documentation! It's very brief, but it's there!
Love the name.
Thanks!
