Does it also run with postgres?

Great question. I'm not sure. If not, it should be very simple to get it there. Please try it and send a pull request. :)

Without diving into the code (which I plan to do over coffee tomorrow), what would the User-Agent string of the spider be?

This has been my side project for the last few months. I'm very interested in your feedback!

Awesome. Thanks so much for releasing the source; this looks like an extremely significant contribution. Kudos!

This is awesome! We were just talking about building a desktop IFTTT. Can't wait to play with this tonight and learn to make agents.

Please let me know if you have questions. I'm planning to make a screencast tutorial on how to make and link Agents.

At the moment, it's the curl default I believe.

This is really fantastic. I've been working on a new UI for something like this and I'd love to compare notes once I dig in a little bit. Great stuff!

As a side note, there is another "pipes like" project out there, called DERI Pipes[1]. Development appears to have ended some time back, but I've created a fork[2] of the Github project and am planning to do some work on this.

Anybody else who's interested in this sort of thing, give me a shout.

We also have a demo server setup where you can play with the thing, at: http://demo2.fogbeam.org:8080/pipes/

I've been building something similar in Erlang/Elixir (OTP's a very good match for an event-driven system which connects a series of inputs to outputs), but never quite managed to get it integrated beyond a few minor inputs/outputs (the fact Erlang is less popular makes finding decent OAuth libraries difficult, for instance). The web interface you've made in particular is impressive; so far my "pipes" are just more scripts.

Well done on this, I'm looking forward to playing with it tonight.
