Restectable REST Message API

Restectable is a respectable REST API for storing and retrieving messages.

About

Restectable stores messages in memory to be retrieved at a later time using the SHA256 hash of the message content. If a hash collision occurs, the newest instance of the message will be stored and the old one will be lost.

The restectable server always runs locally on port 8080.

How To Run

go get github.com/bill-rich/restectable
