I made the exact same thing couple of years back, but shut it down because I couldn't think of sustainably maintaining such a "free" service.
I have a lot of ideas like this, but I am super confused on the sustainability part. What ways are there to sustainably maintain such services?
- elnik 9y agoOn another note, Why the 'snippet' additional step when creating new fiddles? Being able to do: curl -X POST -d @test.json https://jsonbin.io/b/new https://jsonbin.io/b/new will be cool!
- Kiro 9y agoI thought that's how it works? https://jsonbin.io/api-reference https://jsonbin.io/api-reference
- elnik 9y ago$ cat test.json {} $ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @test.json https://jsonbin.io/b/new https://jsonbin.io/b/new {"success":false,"message":"Snippet parameter is missing"} $ echo '{"snippet": "{}"}' > test.json $ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @test.json https://jsonbin.io/b/new https://jsonbin.io/b/new {"success":true,"data":"{}","id":"..."}
- Kiro 9y agoOh, you're right. My bad. Maybe they want to leave room for meta data in the future or something.
