Restless to RESTful - are we doing it right?

Following on our previous discussion on HN [1], we've gone ahead and implemented a REST interface for our online fax service, where we previously only had a SOAP API. Documentation [2] is 90% complete, so this might be a good time to get your feedback if we're doing it right. As always, brutal honesty appreciated! -------------- [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3467287 [2] http://www.interfax.net/en/dev/rest/reference

    Intercept.rest – Faster API debugging2018 · ▲89

    Sharing an internal tool that accelerated my development work 10-fold, especially with API debugging. Thought fellow developers here might find it useful. As a developer, I often have trouble reproducing errors at the client end. https://intercept.rest lets me debug and monitor API requests and responses. It is similar to the Network tab in Chrome Developer Tools but works for any API: mobile apps, webhooks, frontend etc. After I shared it with a close circle of friends, they found it incredibly useful and even found new use cases, I never imagined. Been a long time lurker here and…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
