Interesting project. Were you aware there's also an unrelated project called Hugin[1]? [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugin_(software)
Nope, I wasn't. :) Do you think I should change the name?

#42Yahoo pipes is the bomb. I wish they would have maintained it. Thanks for building this, I can't wait to put it through it's paces!!

Thanks! I'd like to make a version that's trivial to deploy to Heroku, or perhaps a pre-build micro EC2 image? I'm not sure I want to host more than a demo version because it could be used for scraping. The core idea is that this is something that you run yourself because you care about who has your data.
A Heroku or EC2 build would be amazing Hosted would also be good though, I think there are a whole class of people who don't care all that much who has access to their data so long as they could self host it (or have someone else host it for them) if the service ever stopped running.
I don't understand why those people would be using Flickr, Facebook and Twitter instead of, say, OpenPhoto, Diaspora, and StatusNet.

#44Lovely! Is there a ready-hosted version, so I don't have to install it?

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 s…
Seeing a Haskell project on github ( https://github.com/frio/ifrit ) that sounds similar under your handle- post the Elixir one! Would love to see some Elixir code in such great project area, whatever the state!!
Heh, I'd forgotten about that one :D. I've had the idea kicking around for a long time, and have spiked it in a few different languages (the Haskell version was mainly to try out FRP and reactive-banana; I've got the furthest on a Python one that hinges around agents tied to RabbitMQ as my current "production" deployment).
I'll try and get the Elixir stuff cleaned up and published over the next week :). The only source I've implemented so far is inotify (for eventing off Dropbox, so I can rebuild my blog); so far I've spent most of my time digging into the vagaries of the OTP and Erlang as a platform, rather than implementing.

Because those services are 3-10 orders of magnitude larger than a startup running open-IFTTT as a service? Because they already have critical business operations interacting with these large(r) services?
(Just two reasons I could imagine. But I get your point... especially with my recent sadness over Google Reader.)

#47Should have been coded in python :( . Whenever i see a project that i think is cool and then see that it has been coded in languages other than js, c++ or python i consider it just for my usage, and not for my contributions as developer.
hai Google employee!
Re: Huginn, an Open Source IFTTT / Yahoo Pipes
#48This is nicely done - not just the idea and code, but the documentation and examples. Very nice, I look forward to using this, thank you for sharing it!
Thank you for your kind words. I think good documentation is very important. I will also be adding a screencast that explains how to use the UI.
I agree - great looking docs!
Re: Huginn, an Open Source IFTTT / Yahoo Pipes
#49This has been my side project for the last few months. I'm very interested in your feedback!
Awesome project! IFTTT should really be part of every service that has a little bit of interactivity, even at a corner. Too bad I don't know ruby.
Please give us updates on your experience as you use it as well.
