Is this a satire?

Why would anyone use this? The reason I think this sounds like satire is because the post presents the "there are NPM modules for doing iseven or isodd, but there's too much dependency" as the problem this is solving.

The ironic thing is, this service is creating a totally unnecessary "dependency" that's even worse than NPM dependency hell, basically you're relying on someone else's centralized API (which he proudly says he's planning to monetize) for something as trivial as checking even or odd, which I'm sure can be written in a single line of code with any programming language.

The "iseven", "isodd" NPM packages were ludicrous to begin with. This "solution" takes it to another level. Really, this is a satire, right?

This is absolutely satire, to make fun of the trend that everything nowadays is "as a service" (even when the process can be trivially done by yourself).
