On: Don’t build a general purpose API to power your own front end (2021)

[ChrisMarshallNY]

I've done this, and agree.

But it was a good exercise for me, and I ended up using the general-purpose backend for a specific frontend.

It's just that it's way overkill. Much more complex than it needs to be.

But it works really, really well, and is secure as hell.
