#RESTful #API design advice wanted.

I'm blundering my way through my first #REST API implementation (for a #decentralized storage network.)

I have several APIs working but still unsure about how these should work to support different client styles and use cases.

For example, someone suggested custom headers for metadata which I wasn't aware was an option! How to code binary data in a JSON payload is another of many questions I have.

Can you point to design guides or best practice examples?

This is the longest I’ve ever gone without publishing an article, and the stress of not having anything ready is weighing heavy on my heart

It’s ironic considering how often I write about the importance of resting and listening to your body when it needs a break.

I’m so grateful for the Disabled Ginger community, but my body and brain clearly need a break.

I sit down to write everyday, and so far all I have is 30+ drafts with titles, a few images and (at best) two lines of actual content.

This is the harsh reality of chronic illness. It doesn’t matter how much you WANT to do something… if your body says “No”… Its a No.

You can’t try harder your way out of it. You can’t play through the pain.

The more you try to fight your body, the harder and longer the crash.

If you’re struggling to rest right now, take this as a sign to unplug. Relax. Recharge. Give your body what it’s crying out for and do it without the guilt.

We will all be here for you when you’re ready.

Sharing my article on radical rest from the archives, because I need the reminder & maybe so does someone else:
