   Yes, you're right. He could have used getpantry.cloud (or similar)

   I've been busy building Pantry - a free JSON storage service for small personal projects. I posted it a few days ago on HN and a lot of you had some great ideas and feedback. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2303029

   Oh very cool! Love the idea of using a third-party service to store data for simple projects, mobile apps included! If anyone is looking for a similar solution, a place to dump data for personal projects, check out Pantry ( https:/&#x2

   Oh yeah, this definitely needs to be addressed and is currently an active issue on GitHub. Thanks for reporting!

   Ouch that is confusing. And no, I haven't added these details to documentation yet. This is a bit of an issue at the moment, having everything return in one format is the right thing to do. Will be addressing this in the near future -

   I prefer this as well. Rather not go down the road of having examples for every major platform.

    Great question! Size limits are pretty small, a little over 1mb per basket. As for data retention, the account has a TTL of 5 days, baskets 3. Any activity on the account/bucket will result in the TTL's being refreshed.

    Wow, this is pretty neat! I have some friends who are into firmware development so ill pass this along. Love how verbose your docs are - good stuff!

    I have a basic rate limiting implemented, but nothing that prevents people from really abusing the storage platform. Accounts and Baskets that are stale are automatically removed, however, so there's that? Will look into alternative me

    Ouff - good catch! Will fix soon, thanks!

    Haha, yeah I'm definitely not quitting my day job over this, and you're right about the costs as well - Pantry is fairly cheap to maintain. I might keep it as a free service for the time being and do some research to see if there&

    Thanks for the feedback, I agree that the Postman approach may not be the best solution. I'll look into another way to display API docs!

    Duly noted, this was an eye-opener. I suppose I should prioritize this while I still have time. Time to step away from the keyboard and think about the business side of this project. Oh, I did add a "BuyMeCoffee" button on the Abo

    Very exciting, I really like your website - especially the API docs! Awesome work!

    Thanks for the kind words! You're essentially the use-case that I had in mind when I was developing Pantry! How did your project turn out btw, did the firmware developers get their mind blown by web tech?

    Great question! Currently, the PantryID (uuidv4) is the only form of security, I am thinking that in a future release perhaps another form of authorization may be required. Do you have any suggestions - I'm all ears!

    Great question! I believe this is a good problem to have, and perhaps one day I'll be lucky enough to face this. I've spent some time thinking of how to monetize Pantry - perhaps a private tier, something that is more feature-rich

    Great question! Let me get back to you? You are right, and all of your points are valid. I will definitely be looking into drafting some documents revolving around data integrity and privacy. As for the prevention of misuse, I've added

    Hey, thanks for the feedback. This is definitely been a learning experience for me, and I'm really not sure what the future holds for the project. CORS was/is an issue that I've yet to fully figure out, if you have any ideas

    Apple and Google should save money and hire the same design firm (similar to how Toyota and Subaru collaborated on the 86/BRZ).Their flagship phones already look very similar. "Premium" != "Aluminium unibody, with edge-t
