@neatnik@social.lol I’m curious about the possibility of an edit/patch endpoint on PURLs. My use case is I would like to have a persistent url to an evolving outline made with tinylittleoffice.com. So I would have a bookmarklet or some other automation that would update the target of my /mealplan PURL as I edited it and then have an easy shortcut to reloading/regenerating an outline with that state. I imagine I might be able to delete and then create, but don’t know if I would run into caching issues or something like that. And that’s two requests rather than one. Don’t know what your take on the usefulness of an adding an endpoint would be, but appreciate the consideration.

    @jonesbp@hachyderm.io It’s not at all clear from the very poor documentation, but you can use the same endpoint that creates PURLs to update them as well (https://api.omg.lol/#token-post-purls-create-a-new-purl). It’s effectively just like overwriting them with a new destination URL. Let me know if you run into any issues with that!
