Yo Developers API

Is up and running

tl;dr: http://dev.justyo.co

There are endless ways to use the world’s simplest API (it only has one endpoint…).

If you run a blog, a website, a shopify online store or any other kind of service, you’ll be able to boost your engagement with the Yo API.

Some example use cases:

1. A blog can Yo the readers whenever a new post is published. Imagine getting a Yo From PRODUCTHUNT.
2. An online store can Yo its customers whenever a new product is offered. Imagine getting a Yo From JENNASHOPIFY.
3. A football club can Yo the fans whenever the team scores a touchdown. Imagine getting a Yo From THE49ERS.
4. An ice-cream truck can Yo the kids when it’s around the corner.… Imagine getting a Yo From THEICECREAMTRUCK.

How it works…

1. Pick a Yo username for your blog/website/service, for example: JOEYSBLOG or JENNASHOPIFY or THE49ERS

2. Tell your users to Yo you at the name you registered and what they should expect when they get your Yo’s, for example:

“Yo me at JOEYSBLOG and I’ll Yo you when I publish a new post!”

“Yo me at JENNASHOPIFY and I’ll Yo you when there is a new product!”

“Yo us at THE49ERS and we’ll Yo we score a touchdown!”

Once they Yo the service, they are subscribed to that service Yo notifications.

They can unsubscribe by swiping out the name in the Yo app.

3. You uploaded a post and you want to Yo your subscribers! Great!
