  A little backstory: this was written the last few days during Startup Weekend Madison, so it's very alpha. Why Startup Weekend? It gave us an excuse to block off the entire weekend and devote ourselves to this project. When we pitched it to the judges, we were highly confident we wouldn't win: we were right. :)

  This wasn't created to make any money. It was created so that communities around the world could have their own API of things that matter to them. We welcome contributors! (it's MIT licensed)
