I figured this was going to happen years ago. Any suggestions for a replacement?
Sure, check out http://www.feedsapi.com , it's probably the best replacement at this point, iit's however not a 1 to 1 replacement.

#72Earlier quoted context omitted.
There was IFTTT but looking at their page now it seems like maybe they have pivoted, at least I can't tell that it works like it used to: https://ifttt.com/
If you sign in all the previous functionality is still there. Seems their landing page is only advertising their new "Do" apps (which are a one-button extension of the old IFTTT recipes). Installed it, but never used them much.
Many see tools like http://Zapier.com or http://elastic.io (disclaimer - I'm a founder) as alternative to Pipes and IFFT.

#74I used Yahoo Pipes to find my apartment.
One pipe would grab data from Craigslist, strip out irrelevant items, and send me a text if anything new and interesting appeared. Ditto for Westside Rentals.
This combination worked great. If a lame apartment appeared in CL, I'd edit my Pipes regex to strip the same thing out of WR. In this way I'd get only texts for awesome places.
Vaya con dios, Yahoo Pipes!

#75Pipes was the first service I ever owned from an ops perspective (circa 2008). We had two clusters, one on each coast. I thought we had capacity to take one offline to do a full upgrade, turns out we didn't. By the time I turned the west coast back online, the east coast was failing health checks, and the LB failed everything over to the west coast, which then proceeded to be overloaded, and everything flipped back t…
Did your remove the affiliate ID?
Re: Yahoo Pipes End-Of-life Announcement
#76I worked on Pipes briefly, shortly after it launched. It was really two distinct products rolled into one. The visual interface was groundbreaking and stunning-I think half my team was hired on the strength of that demo. No one could believe Javascript could do that. 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. I would love to read a blog post about how exactly it was mismanaged. It would be great for others to learn lessons from the mistakes.
Get a job at Twitter and you can see this in action. It's pretty epic.

#77My website is partially powered by pipes. Looks like I'll have to rewrite.

#78I'm a big fan of Yahoo Pipes, and sad to hear it's being shut down. Pipes and Visual Basic shaped my view of how fun and easy programming can be.
We're trying to build on this legacy with Weld(.io). See a sneak peek of our programming UI at 0:40 here: http://youtu.be/faG3uuOnqxY
If anyone in the Pipes team would like to be involved somehow, ping me on tom@weld.io

#80In an alternate universe not too dissimilar from our own, Pipes is an independent startup and this announcement is Yahoo buying it for 8-9 figures

IFTTT still does the same things it always has.
