Don't fucking run a service if you are going to hassle the people that use it. Your medium article makes you look like even more of an asshole.

I'm sorry I hurt your feelings with my hobby. I'd be happy to provide a full refund if you'll come out from behind that cowardly anonymous throwaway account.

For every shitty comment, there should be a friendly one: keep on truckin' :)

I guess rawgit should change its strategy: they instruct people to not link to rawgit.com but to cdn.rawgit.com when you expect heavy traffic. The thing is that you have to read their instructions, which is probably not what you see when you receive a link to them. So you share that very same link, and if you share it on HN it crosses their threshold. Maybe they could use a redirect to their cdn URLs when such thresh…

I run rawgit.com. Actually, I've tried both approaches. Redirecting does nothing to reduce excessive traffic, because nobody notices they're doing anything wrong. The traffic just keeps coming, and I keep having to redirect it, which doesn't help me at all. Displaying an annoying message, on the other hand, gets fast results, because _everyone_ notices and complains. Both rawgit.com and cdn.rawgit.com are completely…

Sorry for the headaches. I didn't see the preferred URL--too busy playing with the editor ;-). Apologies for any hassles this caused you.

No worries at all. I'm working on improving the messaging when a URL starts triggering abuse prevention measures to hopefully avoid confusing people so much.

I'd like something like this for XML.

I've seen attempts at it before. It gets pretty complicated, because of attribute/content split. You're basically choosing between something so generic and complicated it's hardly any better than a validating text editor with autocomplete, or something so cut down that it is by default specialized to its use case, in which case it is basically just a specialized editor of some sort that happens to serialize to XML, w…

I know. This project uses a json schemas which are somewhat similar so xml schemas though. Maybe a converter could be developed.

I'm currently working on integrating this in my app. I really like the combination of json-schema and json as a protocol. Where no custom UI is defined json-editor jumps in to save the day.

No thanks, with my data - its offline and safe, or not at all.
