Hosting for Webhooks and Transform Streams

Like most websites of such projects, its missing the "What is X" that explains what problem your "product X" solves. (yes you are selling your product)

And gives context such as being a supplement to Y and an alternative to Z. After reading every page, i still have no idea what it does, what its for and how i can learn more about Y and Z so i can understand why i need X.

Presumably you could pipe output through multiple hooks and chain actions up, making them composable?

"This application will be able to read and write your public and secret gists." Probably a good idea to create a separate GitHub account due to the "secret gists" permission.

100% yes. Composability is one of the greatest strengths of microservices.

Here is a live example of merging multiple hooks: http://hook.io/Marak/merge

and of using piping hooks together: http://hook.io/Marak/pipe

We don't need access to private gists and are not enumerating the Gist API in anyway.

The only code that gets shared with the site is when a new gist is created. Never previous gists.

I'll investigate the Github API scope settings immediately and see if I can make the access level only public gist.

Thanks for the head-up.

It's an alternative to creating a repo for your 50-line app and pushing it up to Heroku, basically.
