#13Oh, this is really cool, and exactly what I'm looking for, but uh, I really wish I could test it! Thing is, I probably can't. I use a screen reader, so I doubt the interface would work for me, but maybe I'll try it, just for fun.

#14I miss yahoo pipes! I used to use it to aggregate movie reviews for some project I was working on. Brings me back.

#19Cool project! Yahoo Pipes was before my time, but I remember a Tom Scott video that mentioned it. Imagine having a service like that for free today… This video has … views by Tom Scott: https://youtu.be/BxV14h0kFs0?si=J3sVKEJhkABUSjN_
Along the same lines, I recommend Retool's retrospective article [0] about pipes, for some of the perspective on how it looked from inside yahoo. I'll grant that, towards the end, it is an ad for their service. [0] https://retool.com/pipes
