An app without tethering would be great, I agree. But to save space on your phone, it's easy to turn off automatic storage of media, on iOS this is under Settings > Chats > Save Incoming Media. I've had it turned off for a l

We also manage our collections in git, but merging is horrendous. Have you found any good workarounds for this? For example, often you don't know a collection has changed, because Postman doesn't reload it from disk automatically.

We also <3 Postman on the Transport for London API team, and have added the button to our documentation. For now you can grab it from our blog... blog.tfl.gov.uk

I've always felt like I was slightly fighting against the Pen tool in most vector drawing apps, especially when drawing Bezier splines. The direct manipulation looks like a massive improvement, and would also be more intuitive with a t

My favourites are more about the general craft of software development than specifics e.g. The Pragmatic Programmer: Hunt and Thomas The Mythical Man Month: Frederick Brooks

I can't tell whether this is hubris, technical naïveté or just an attempt to garner votes. Possibly all three. But let's assume they are proposing a ban on communications methods that cannot be lawfully intercepted (that's ce

I think they are, foolishly, staying quiet on some recent victories. They've said as much. It could actually be to their benefit to release more about some of the cases where they don't reveal more about "methods" than t

Surprised more people haven't noticed there's an SVG tube map right there! Bonus: it's tagged with the station Naptan codes and TransXChange route ids that are the API's currency.

The link is fixed in the next release. I will ask about the password rules - that does sound annoying.

Can you send me a link to the journey planner results? There is no specific way to contribute improvements to the results, best way for now would be to leave feedback through the form in the title bar of the new website. Edit: You also migh
