Who wants DW APIs?
Apr. 22nd, 2014 11:33 amJust a quick signal boost, since I'm in the middle of several dozen things: I know several of you have toys or utilities that interact with Dreamwidth. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
darael is proposing writing some proper APIs to make it non-awful interacting with DW other than by directly loading HTML pages. Please do go and join in the discussion if you think you might ever use such tools.
For historical interest, this discussion seems to have arisen out of the now shelved proposal to make DW work with Usenet-style News (NNTP) readers. I know some of you were keen on that idea, either here or on LJ, so if you have opinions about what would give newsgroup style functionality without actually going all the way to running an NNTP server, your input would be particularly welcome.
If this is gobbledygook to you, you're probably not the target audience so please feel free to ignore this post.
