- marktangotango 9y agoI was offering a cors sevice with a rest api to sql database, authentication, email signup, and captcha, tools to build everything for static sites. Zero interest for it. These things sound great but no one really uses them in practice.
- ChuckMcM 9y agoCould be the wrong take away. People seem to implement this sort of capability themselves a lot. So there is going to be a small marginal value to a 'canned' version, web sites are also particularly careful with emails and other PII people send them so a service approach runs the risk of the service harvesting that data and reselling it without the web site owners knowledge or approval. And finally, I expect a quick crawl of the web would turn up a zillion different 'tweaks' that individual sites make for their particular application, so it would be hard for them to use a pre-baked one.
