Probably not. Since we don't have user accounts, and already have a bit of a spam problem, I'd be pretty worried about what a real POST API might bring.

- aneisf 14y agoI figured as much. Just wishful thinking on my part--it'd be nice to be able to build a client wholly atop the API.
- nyan_sandwich 14y agoIt's not like the html form does anything special. Forms don't have funny markup you have to scrape or produce. It's just a POST. I guess there's mime/url encoding or whatever, but that's hardly an issue.

- mcantor 14y agoWhat if you charged for it? (Not saying this is a good idea, just that it's an idea.)
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoCharging for spam just means spammers buy accounts to post spam...
