I recently introduced my wife (a crochet-addict) to Ravelry. The result? She's now a Ravelry-addict. I can hardly get on the laptop myself these days. She's taking photos, queuing up projects, checking out patterns and even going as far as entering her "stash" of wool so she can track it all.
The one problem is that there's no api so it's a walled garden... and my wife really wants a public portfolio site. If Ravelry could fulfil this need, I'd pay them money to get it off my todo list!
I often wondered about the business model but after seeing it in action, the advertising fits quite well.
- caseyf 17y agohttp://www.ravelry.com/help/api http://www.ravelry.com/help/api isn't much but it should be enough to make a project portfolio. Post on the Ravelry board if you have any questions :)
- hopeless 17y agohmmm... interesting. It looks like you can only get info for in-progress projects though. Really she wants a public version of the projects page to show off to family/friends/non-ravelrers and ravelry is a much better interface for building this content than her current Wordpress solution. Edit: ok, I've checked out the raw JSON data and looks quite possible. Thanks!
