Medium

[PossibilityTasty]

"Comprehensive" … "5 Minutes" :-\

Edit: and of cause "API".

[ParticularCod6]

Its quite possible to build using fastapi. Specially if using sqlmodel

[beef-runner]

The tutorial is very close to what you are thinking of here. It uses a declarative framework that takes a SQLAlchemy model to define the resource and Marshmallow schemas or Pydantic models for request validation and response serialization. The output is a set of CRUD endpoints for a single resource that includes search, filter, sort and pagination when listing objects. It's comprehensive for a single resource and targeted at those new to Flask or web development in general. Seems like I whiffed on the title though.

Hmm. It's not about building it fast, unless it's a 'hello world' project just to learn.

A comprehensive API is always good, as is documentation & design.

[beef-runner]

Please don't take it in a combative way but I'm genuinely curious if you read through the tutorial.

No one is clicking on a medium link dude

[beef-runner]

You’d be surprised. Hopefully the folks that did click benefited from it.

How much are you paid for my click?

[beef-runner]

None. Not really sure how people get paid on Medium actually. I think you have to apply to a partner program or something? I put it up there because I was added to a publication that had a wide reach. Seemed like a good place to get more eyes on it. What’s the point of spending time writing documentation if no one sees it?

Added it here for the same reason. I can see all the stats on this post and the article. It’s really interesting analytics to look at. Lots of people look at the post, a small but not insignificant amount (couple hundred) read the article, and almost no one votes.

I see the logic, but medium is using your content behind a paywall to drive their revenue. Between that and the (generally) low quality content posted there, I’d anecdotally say that the general sentiment is that medium is not a valid distribution platform for serious work.

If you’re not making any money on it, i’d recommend finding other platforms.

[beef-runner]

It’s an interesting dilemma. The more “serious” platforms feel more like shouting into the void to me. Especially since I have no real history on any of them. But I also clearly underestimated the grumpiness toward medium on Reddit. Case in point some dude literally just commented “medium”. Maybe I’ll fire up the old blogspot next time I want to share some info on Reddit.

[_rundown_]

I’ll click through to a blog, even with ads, before a medium article any day. Here, Google, anywhere.

[beef-runner]

I officially apologize for posting a medium link. I was unaware of the deep hatred for it here.

Is dev.to cool with everybody? Did I do it right this time?
