Your description sounds cool, I just really wish the project's README told me what it does and how to use it instead of giving a 10-part story with no concise "and here's how the new solution works, all wrapped up!" summary.

Author here, your feedback is highly appreciated.

Providing better documentation for the RESTful JSON endpoints of this project is our next top priority.

Seems like it would be important to have a minimal example (e.g. curl + psql in a shell session) as well.

The concept rocks, so I really hope it will work and become popular.

A few remarks:

- the go get install is broken in the readme. I opened a ticket.

- since go cross compile, maybe you could provide binaries for Linux/Windows/Mac ? No need to go get, no need to install docker. That would open the door to include the tool in web frameworks.

Good luck, and thanks for sharing.

Yeah, releasing binaries and listing them on brew/apt/etc would probably be very helpful for adoption.

Next would be packages that wrap the rest api listed on npm, pypi, rubygems, etc.

I certainly found it amusing. There's absolutely nothing about how to use the API...
