Is this a joke ?

To view this post's joke status, make a GET request to a specially-created boolean at https://api.booleans.io/3f80621b-3fa5-4d09-aeda-bc9c742190dc

I got a value = true so definitely not a joke

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.

This is useless for anything serious.

Year or two ago I'd be surprised to see something like this on HN, now it's just "sigh...".

Do you provide a SLA? I'd really like to get an uptime guarantee before migrating my booleans to your platform.

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.

Needs more Erlang. And cowbell.

Do you guys plan on rate-limiting?

We will provide a detailed migration path from legacy boolean systems.

So this isn't a joke? Probably someone changed?
