calling external services to import added data/metadata
Yeah -- separately from this conversation, Aaron mentioned the idea of having a Space that contains the stuff he's bought from eBay, and being able to import the full info about a new acquisition simply by giving the lot number in Querki.
Lots of good ideas here, and I should have thought about IFTTT myself. Hadn't come across Zapier -- same basic idea, it looks like?
The plan is actually for syndication to be built into Querki -- indeed, that feature has been in the plans from the very beginning. I haven't gotten around to building it yet, but the idea of the What's New feature is that you can specify a Model within your Space, and all new Instances of the Model get formatted into RSS entries. I believe it'll be quite powerful when we get that. (You're making a broader point than that -- just mentioning that that one is specifically on the to do list.)

Good feedback for me to chew on. Thanks!
