Show HN: TheBigDB - A simpler open database of facts

I appreciate any new service that attempts to organize data / information. With that in mind, I hope this succeeds.

A suggestion: it needs a demo query box on the site. Shouldn't be too hard to let a rate limited IP address throw a few keywords at it and spit back results. I'd like to see what the db contains before I invest too much time (how many topics, how many facts, etc).

You're right, it would be a plus for people who quickly want to test the API.

In the meantime, you can just look through http://browser.thebigdb.com what the DB contains, or just "gem install thebigdb" and start copy/paste the code examples to see how the API really behaves.

Thanks for your suggestion!
