building that feature

A feature that allows anyone on the 'net to bang on your backend database is not something to be taken lightly :-)

I think LW first needs a coherent API spec, then a framework (including thing like auth tokens, rate limiters, etc.), and only then specific abilities to e.g. ask for all comments of a particular user.
