Hyper video media API

Idea

• by BigBlueHat

We’ve filmed REST Fest talks since nearly the beginning—professionally for the last 3 years. Because of that, we’ve got quite a collection. It currently lives at http://videos.restfest.org/ which is just a Vimeo channel page for the previous year. Finding content is a fiddly, error prone process of searching all of Vimeo and usually coming up short.

What better way to fix it than to have ~50 people spend a full day creating a set of microservices, APIs, and clients to work together to build a new videos.restfest.org—complete with hypermedia hot sauce. 😸
