Show HN: Pipe, library to run ifttt-like alerts locally (github.com) 23 points by sathish316 13y ago ↗ HN
[–] pizza 13y ago ↗ Looks good but it shares its name with a popular pseudo-tool; may I suggest WTTT (when this then that)? [–] sathish316 13y ago ↗ Are you referring to Unix Pipe, which inspired Yahoo Pipes, which inspired ifttt and Zapire? (http://nickoneill.com/the-forgotten-yahoo-project-that-inspi...) [–] sp332 13y ago ↗ There's also a Facebook file-sharing app called Pipe. I guess this project could use a less-overloaded name! [–] dfc 13y ago ↗ What "pseudo-tool"? And what is a pseudo-tool anyway?

[–] peteforde 13y ago ↗ I'd use this! Kudos for implementing it. I look forward to seeing where this goes.
[–] dfc 13y ago ↗ Neat project. If I could make a recommendation, I would suggest dropping the capital I. Its not used consistently; git repo versus title of this post versus command name. [–] sathish316 13y ago ↗ I looks like pipe character in github. But i had to drop it here for readability.

[–] azar1 13y ago ↗ Damn, I was talking to a friend about writing something like this just yesterday!Good job!
[–] tom_usher 13y ago ↗ Looks nice - been thinking of something like this for a very lightweight ESB.
[–] bryanh 13y ago ↗ Cool! If I remember, you're the same guy who did http://apify.heroku.com/resources, yes? Does this have a lot of shared code with scrapify? [–] sathish316 13y ago ↗ This is completely independent. It'll work for any json service.
