I have been thinking about building an REST API only product. I don't have anything specific in mind but I would prefer to build something without a UI. I end up spending hours even days sometimes on tweaking html and CSS. Not fun...<p>Thoughts? Is anyone else building an API only product? How is it going?
Tarsnap (<a href="http://www.tarsnap.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tarsnap.com/</a>) doesn't use a REST API (for various reasons, I built my own API), but it's essentially an API-only product. Users will (once I get the website built) be able to create accounts and check how much storage and bandwidth they're using via the website; but all the "core" work is computers talking to computers.
