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?

FWIW at first I thought this thread was about Hugin.

This 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.

This is great! Since it allows combining and parsing RSS and XML feeds - do you think it could be used to build a personalized RSS / Google Reader replacement? Just a thought.

Well, that's very hot right now. :)

Yes, actually, I use it to scrape a couple of RSS feeds myself since I couldn't be bothered to use a reader when I had this.

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

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!!

Really cool! Did you consider using phantomjs thru capybara in order to use webkit to interact with javascript websites?

I looked into letting you write your Agents in sandboxed JS, but didn't end up going very far down that path. If you'd like to add a PhantomJS Agent, that'd be slick.
