Tinydb is a fantastic way of storing structured data inside a tiny url.
It’s a database in the cloud without any security, querying, editing… basically anything. However since it runs on the Google App Engine the data is actually being stored on a Google Bigtable. Clearly, it’s the best place in the world for the most useless data I can possibly imagine!

I cannot believe their site is so bad.
It’s absolutely criminal. They spend loads of time making their front end website really nice and pretty to get people to sign up but then provide the worst management tools I’ve ever seen.
There is no navigation, no style, no IA, no logic, no usability. Random static text, forms with existing values not pre-filled, and timeout errors as they connect to internal and registry services. There is simply no excuse for this. Such a waste of my time just to change an A record.
