Never said that. Never even got close to reaching that conclusion.

I haven't looked into your "auth system" but if what you claim is accurate, then good. Everyone can look at it and see what can be done.
Quote:But in the end I think it aint’t worth it. It’s quite a lot of work I had to do to make the library that flexible and most of the people use more or less the same layout for their database anyway
1.) How are you assigning "worth" to the effort of making it flexible? (Did you do A/B testing against a non-flexible version of your library?)
2.) Yes, good APIs take more effort than bad APIs.
3.) You are right. There is an intuitive, generally agreeable schema for most resources. So to make it flexible, you get that part in, then make it amendable in some fashion.
