Realize this is a potentially expensive thing from a computational/bandwidth perspective and probably a while off before it makes sense but, might be handy if people want to use Prejump to do things that don't make sense at a platform-wide level.

I called this "open" but could be patreon-exclusive or with vetted "developer" accounts.

Do you have some specific visions in mind what these 3rd party apps could look like or do?

I mean sure I could think of ways I might personally use an API but I honestly think the point is more to allow the developer community around a platform to experiment and better the ecosystem.

But really, as I said in the initial post, I think having an API is a "down the road" thing. It assumes a large enough community develops along with a desire to use the underlying data in ways that are related but not fundamental to the function of the platform itself (e.g. large scale statistics on what types of packs get used the most).
