How we made an API for BoingBoing in an evening with FluidDB
- ntoll 16y agoHey, I'm the author of the linked post. More than happy to answer questions...
- petervandijck 16y ago"FluidDB is an openly writable shared database." The flexibility, REST and query language look cool. Can I install FluidDB for myself and use it for projects? Or is it more meant to be a centralized db of stuff that you guys run?
- ntoll 16y agoIt's meant to be the latter (centralized) but there is nothing to stop you from using it in your own projects. :-)
- aditya 16y agoOh hey -- if this works well, perhaps we can grab that Hacker News XML dump and put it into FluidDB? Then we can find out exactly how often jacquesm plugs ww.com and maxklein posts about his vaporware apps business's ;-) (Only partially kidding)
- ntoll 16y agoI'd be up for getting that sorted. Where is this XML dump of which you speak..? ;-) Seriously, we're interested in importing datasets that people would find enjoy hacking around with. I know I would enjoy exploring/linking/annotating a Hacker News dump.
