<p>Do you mean GNU Debugger? Is the debugger running on your machine? How would the API work?<p>How would an API control Bash? Is the Bash shell running on your machine?<p>Regarding a real time stock price API, I thought of this as well. I will look into it. If I can find a good source of data this seems like a great feature.</p>

<p>1. No colleges
2. Videos like Khan Academy
3. Teachers help students solve problems, not waste their time doing the job of a repeating the same thing over and over.
4. Teachers will (hopefully) be compensated on their ability to engage with and motivate and connect with their students.</p>

<p>I would like to create an API for developers, but not sure what API is needed at this time.<p>Can you share any requests that you have for an API that would be helpful to you? It could make your life easier or be more convenient than existing solutions (such as a gem or library).<p>It could be something difficult such as Face Recognition. Or something simple such as converting from feet to meters or getting current time in UTC.<p>Alternately, it could be an API that is useful to you, but is too expensive or does not offer a free tier.<p>And yes, this API will offer a free tier. (And, it will be completely free for a while.)</p>
