Ironically, the idea is more useful than intended. One could, for example, store on/off user's preferences in the cloud without the hassle of local storage, survey responses, or even control IoT devices remotely with just the switch of a boolean.

But then you'd still have to store their id somewhere.

Thanks for the good times everyone. If anyone's interested in making this a real thing (IoT, state manager, web hooks, auth, labels, analytics, GUI, etc) reach out at hello@booleans.io. I'd love to build it out but have a day job so it's tricky. The BaaS future is one of endless opportunity.

Can you share your stack. Also as an innovative idea, how are you planning to deal with the surge of clones to follow, any patents in the works?

Also the stack is Node/Express and MySQL.

Wow, not using a document store? I think we disagree about how predictably structured a boolean is.

Mongo didn't meet our strict security and performance requirements.
