Great idea! I was thinking of using it in my Jekyll blog, so like recent posts on jekyll, I can statically generate this json using liquid. A cool use case can be using the api to display most recent post on my portfolio page.

This is super cool!

Thinking this is just a typo and you might've meant to give the shoutout to Conlin Durbin.

Again, this is an awesome post. ๐Ÿ‘
