No authentication; anyone who guesses an ID can modify a boolean

I'm concerned about the lack of authentication on this API. What's to prevent an attacker from modifying my booleans? just his ability to guess the guid?

No monetization plan
From 2 comments
What are your gross margins? What is the monthly churn rate for active users (active to inactive)? How much revenue (in USD) have you have booked each month for the last 6 months?

Boolean operations such as AND
From 1 comment
This API seems woefully incomplete. It really should include operations on booleans, not just storage and retrieval. I'd much rather use a tested, well written, and efficient AND…

MongoDB as a service
From 1 comment
Sure saving the 128 bit (even longer when encoded) UUID for one value is so much better then saving 1 bit! Now seriously how is this any good since you can only save one bit.…
