Giving away free APIs without going broke.
I like to write articles on Medium. I also want to share the same articles on our own site without having to rewrite them in a different format. For this reason, I have created a service which runs something similar to the Medium-To-MarkDown library, a programme which converts Medium posts to MarkDown format. I have offered it to everyone on our site.
To be clear, Medium-To-MarkDown is an example service whilst we work out how best to run an effective Software as a Service (SAAS).
We want to u se this service and render the MarkDown on our site for the posts we write. We typically write one article each month, so we can’t really justify the purpose of an API. Instead, a better solution might be to execute a script for the conversion when building our site.
However, at T3chFlicks we want to share - our only opposition is financial. This is a fairly simple service, running on AWS (the largest Cloud Hosting company). Surely this wouldn’t be too much for a UK-based tech company?
