Ever needed a graceful way to say "no"? This tiny API returns random, generic, creative, and sometimes hilarious rejection reasons — perfectly suited for any scenario: personal, professional, student life, dev life, or just because.

Originally built by hotheadhacker, this fork has been converted to a Hono-based server by iamthebestcodeer.

Base URL depends on where you deploy this Hono server.

• Method: GET
• Path: /no

Example response:

{
  "reason": "This feels like something Future Me would yell at Present Me for agreeing to."
}

1. Install dependencies

bun install

2. Start the Hono server

bun start

3. Hit the endpoint

curl http://localhost:3000/no

• hono-app.js — Hono server entrypoint
• reasons.json — Collection of rejection reasons
• test — Tests for the Hono implementation

• Original project: hotheadhacker
• Hono conversion: iamthebestcodeer

MIT — reuse freely, preferably to say "no" with style.
