I think that you're probably looking for a finite state machine. There are a number of libraries for this, so have a look around and pick one that looks good. I haven't used it myself but would love to hear about other people's experiences with them.

Thank you for the "finite state machine" mention. I haven't seen this in my research so far. Will be adding this to the list to look up.

Worth perusing this for thoughts about doing an FSM in go: https://talks.golang.org/2011/lex.slide#1

There is/was Factor.io, but I'm not sure its still active.

Documentation doesn't mention it, but this appears to not work on Windows - at least not out of the box. Annoying to go to the trouble of downloading it to try, to discover it was never going to work.

This actually seems to be a problem with certain test fixtures in one of the dependencies: (github.com/ChimeraCoder/anaconda) .

The offending files are:

json/statuses/show.json?id=404409873170841600

json/statuses/show.json?id=738567564641599489

This occurs because Windows can't have question marks in the file names.

I would suggest creating a pull request, or an issue on that repo asking that those files be renamed and the test logic be modified to not require the files to have the question marks (a simple character replacement in the required tests should probably do the job).

EDIT: There are some more issues! It uses github.com/guelfey/go.dbus which as far as I can tell will never really work on Windows.

The dbus-bee obviously won't run on Windows, but it's not a hard dependency of Beehive. You can simple comment out the import of any Bee in beehive.go.

There's a discussion to be had about how to enable/disable particular bees at build time.

Node-RED seems similar and looks like it has a nicer interface (I've not tried it though).

Node-red also has a lot of connectors, from messaging eco systems to databases and is very flexible. If you hit a wall to the available node then you can always hand code Javascript in a function node.

The Raspbian Distro comes with Node-red pre-installed. Fastest and cheapest way to give it a try.

I recently tried to use this kind of system to pipe news from facebook pages into an RSS feed. Impossible. Facebook hand-picks which developers get API access, and only allows ultra-restricted usage, so for example there's no way they would allow API access for a generic Beehive user, even just for reading public posts. Want to scrape data from the HTML? They aggressively detect anything that may or may not be automa…

This is mostly wrong.

It's true they probably won't allow a generic Beehive user. But they will allow individual users to setup their own app accounts which will get access to public posts.

This seems to meet the above usecase exactly.

Update: I've committed a fix that prevents building this bee (freedesktop.org notification support) on Windows/OSX.

Nice work :-) Hopefully I'll have some time over the next few days to do some testing. If I discover any more Windows based issues I'll send you a PR or create an issue.
