- tony-allan 11y agoSimplicity is a good thing. A service that attempts to do one thing well.
- fiatjaf 11y agoNot when the HTTP request itself is more complicated to do than actually reimplementing the thing in Javascript. NOTE: If you are using a library for easily doing HTTP requests, than you can probably use a library for estimating time to read.
- tony-allan 11y agoI like the notion that a service can continue to improve under the covers without me needing to do software updates to get a new version of library. I know you can just include an external JavaScript library but I only do that for sources I trust.
- fiatjaf 11y agoThe service can also be discontinued. And that is what mostly often happens. Big improvements like what you're imagining are rare.
