pipes creator here: sad to see pipes shutdown. i am surprised it lasted this long -- it was abandoned years ago. on the positive side, it is nice to see it mentioned in the same sentence as y! maps which used to be a big deal back in the day.

Oh man, I use 3 or 4 pipes to filter various RSS feeds. Ugh. Good suggestions for replacements (especially those that don't require my own server) would be much appreciated.
Are they also shutting down YQL? I think YQL queries can do everything pipes can, you just have to write little scripts to do it instead of the UI. Still has the Yahoo problem, but it might be the easiest short term.

Please suggest alternate. You built a good thing. RSS overall is becoming history.
Maybe start a new, open source version of Pipes?

I wonder if it would be possible to build something similar using IPV6/some kind of P2P/STUN/TURN/UDP hole punching/swarm/ethereum / any way to make a distributed system that does the same thing. Or maybe just volunteer running Node on their own VPSs.

The backend was an extremely useful tool for munging RSS feeds. With any kind of support, or even benign neglect, the product would have been successful. It took a lot of active mismanagement and folly to keep Pipes from living up to its promise.
Hats off to psadri and the other Pipes creators for a really stellar piece of work.

Thanks to whoever made it. I guess I'll have to find a way to do it myself now.
