Development using psyexp

Examples for how trails are stored and listed using curl (as an illustration):

1. Save data in an experiment. Make sure trail_no is unique or it will be overwritten (any random number will do): curl -d 'Whatever you want to save (CSV, JSON etc.)' -X POST http://localhost:3000/<experiment UUID>/trail_no

2. List trials that have been stored: curl http://localhost:3000/<experiment UUID>

3. Fetch the data for a trial: curl http://localhost:3000/<experiment UUID>/trail_no
