Hi Everyone, I’m Daniel, a full-stack developer at RNID (Royal National Institute for Deaf People) and I am leading on our upcoming directory product, aimed to replace our existing services directory [Local support services - RNID](https://rnid.org.uk/information-and-support/local-support-services/) for an API using a HSDS compliant data model.

We are interested in using the OpenReferral standards and components in our approach as we believe it shows real benefits for access in our use case, and innovation in the space of cross-platform interoperability.

I am particularly interested in hearing from other developers their approach to such a project, and any challenges faced throughout design/development, integration and deployment. I would highly welcome any input and direction whilst I begin my analysis.

Thank you for your time, great to meet you and look forward to talking more in the future.

Good to have you here Daniel.

I hope others publishing or consuming API feeds will chip in. I’m happy to answer questions and point you to specific people if that proves necessary/useful.
