HTTP QUERY (RFC 10008) is the first new HTTP method proposed in roughly 16 years, enabling idempotent requests with a request body instead of cramming data into URLs.

HTTP QUERY (RFC 10008) is the first new HTTP method proposed in roughly 16 years, and CJ Reynolds breaks down exactly why it's needed. The problem is simple: GET requests officially cannot carry a body, so developers cramming complex query parameters into URLs either hit length limits or resort to using POST for read-only operations — exactly what GraphQL does with every single query. QUERY solves this cleanly: it's explicitly idempotent like GET, can carry a JSON or form-URL-encoded body, and signals to the entire stack that this is a data-fetching operation, not a mutation [1] — CJ Reynolds "GET can't officially have a body. POST feels wrong for read-only queries. HTTP QUERY (RFC 10008) is the first new HTTP method in roughly 16…" 17:08 . Node.js has already implemented it in its HTTP module. Hacker News commenters push back that GET-with-body 'already works,' but CJ's counterargument lands: just because it works doesn't mean it's correct, and having an explicit method for something developers do constantly is exactly why specs like this exist. Scott agrees it's additive rather than breaking, and expresses mild enthusiasm for something that feels modern.
GET can't officially have a body. POST feels wrong for read-only queries. HTTP QUERY (RFC 10008) is the first new HTTP method in roughly 16 years, and it's already implemented in Node.js — filling the gap GraphQL has been hacking around forever.
Node.js has already implemented the HTTP QUERY method in its HTTP module even though no web browsers support it yet.
Ad-based monetization works well for game apps where users spend extended time in-session, as seen with Grid and Wordle.
Tool-focused apps like PuffCount are poor candidates for ad monetization because users don't stay in-session long enough.
A hard paywall is a screen that blocks all app features unless the user pays or starts a free trial — it cannot be dismissed.
Mobile apps are primarily monetized through either ads (best for games) or in-app purchases/subscriptions (best for tools).
