#2I released Base about a month ago and created a blog post with some details https://dev.to/gdotdesign/base-api-for-authentication-email-...
Let me know what you think! :)

#3This is pretty interesting and useful. This would be immensely useful for prototypes and a great entry point for developers. Kind of reminds me of Firebase how it tries to be a one-stop-shop. it also seems much more approachable than Firebase which is nice.

I'm the author of Mint, so it was the obvious choice :)
I choose Crystal because I had experience using Ruby and I absolutely loved the syntax, also Mint is built with Crystal. I really like it because it easy to read (even with type annotations) and compiles to a fast binary.
Edit: If you have specific questions let me have it :D

#6The sign-up button for the developer plan doesn't work (Firefox 68.0.1). Nice idea though. It'd be neat to be able to host it ourselves, if you ever plan to release it as OSS.

Thanks for the bug report! It should be fixed now.

The pricing is just a placeholder at this point, it is possible that there will be a self hosted plan, since it can be easily compiled to a single binary.

#8I have question regarding example of "Retrieving details of a file"
https://www.base-api.io/reference/files
The curl request uses [1] id and in response we get [2] id. Why is that?

Thank you for spotting it! It's just inconsistency, I'll update the examples.
