    As the person who runs usesthis.com, let me tell you it's a massive pain in the ass (I have a JSON file for every item I link to, and so many just... die.)

    I've got a light-weight "API" for each interview - just append /json to an interview URL.

    Aw, sorry about that. I guess it's a nice break from the normality, maybe? :)
