Pixela vs PostalPinCode
Pixela is a single-developer, open-source habit- and effort-tracking service: every action goes through its REST API, turning daily counts, weight logs, or commit streaks into a GitHub-contribution-style graph. Callers register with a self-chosen token via `/v1/users`, then post daily values that render back as an embeddable SVG graph or badge — no dashboard beyond the API itself. Nearly every feature is free; a handful of extras (logo placement, priority support) are reserved for Patreon backers.
PostalPinCode.in mirrors India Post's PIN code directory as a simple keyless REST API, returning post-office name, branch type, delivery status, and district/state/circle hierarchy for any 6-digit PIN or by post-office branch name. Responses are plain JSON with no signup, rate-limit tier, or API key required. It's run as a free public-data convenience layer rather than a commercial product.
