Show HN: Avatars.io - simple API for integrating avatars into your app or site
Shouldn't this be a library that we can run on our own servers? I simply don't understand the recent influx of things that should be libraries.I think building our infrastructure around free things that can be taken down at anytime is the wrong way to go. This "API  services" should not be encouraged. Give us the source and let us run it on our own servers, let us modify it the way we see fit... This is what should be encouraged. "API library services" is just a lame way to get people locked down to a set of APIs that they have no control over.
