Now do some PoW or wait until we're ready :)

Speaking of which, if you're really determined to use GraphQL as your API, please be ready to charge a few sats per API call. Because if not some moronic idiot is going to think it's funny to flood the site with compute-expensive calls.

Every site I know of that exposes a GraphQL API is eventually forced to either (a) put users through CAPTCHA-hell (b) do browser fingerprinting, usually via cloudflare, (c) some kind of real-world identity linkage like SMS verification, or (d) some combination of the above.

I would hate to see that happen to SN.

I probably can't convince you that exposing GraphQL to anonymous callers is a bad idea, so hopefully I can convince you to be ready with something less awful than (a)(b)(c)(d) when the inevitable result occurs.

Thanks again for creating this awesome site.
