Hi. I'm a starter theme called WP REST API. I'm a theme meant for hacking so don't use me as a Parent Theme. Instead try turning me into the next, most awesome, WordPress theme out there. That's what I'm here for.
The WordPress REST API returns post published dates in ISO 8601 format (2016-11-06T23:35:00) which isn't very human-readable. They should be converted to Gregorian format (November 6, 2016) and displayed that way.
If you change your permalinks settings to anything other than 'pretty permalinks' with a category base of 'category' and a tag base of 'tag', the links to individual tags and categories no longer work. This is because the category and tag bases are hard-coded. We need to be able to fetch this setting from somewhere.
