So let's build an API. how hard could it be?

Well, since we don't have access to the backend databases, pretty hard. It would involve lots of screen-scraping and any time the HTML/theme changes our API might break. And that's assuming we could even get authenticated actions to work (like voting and posting.)

Can we get some dev input here? Is an API in the works?

Hi! I'm a developer, and I've had a quick chat with mk about the API. I'm going to be working to design an API for mk to implement. So, yes, there is an API in the very earliest stages of development.

Awesome! I'm more excited about an Android app than anything else. However, an m.hubski.com site would be great.
