Thanks. How easy is it to add a custom page that retrieves data via REST? Does it have to be written in PHP and as a Wordpress plugin?

If I've understood correctly, you'd make a new page template and make your new page use that. Then you can code this page up however you like. PHP, js, etc.

The functions / classes you use could be in a plugin for portability, or just on the page or in your functions.php file for ease, whatever you like.

The nice thing about building like this for me is that the journey from nothing to something is short and so much is supported out of the box.

This sounds really tempting :). Thanks!
