Name is a bit confusing. Ringio is also the name of a virtual phone system/pbx we use.

FWIW, virtually every small project post discussed on HN has a variety of people arguing that the name conflicts with some other small project. Maybe projects should be named using UUIDs or something.

Great, we're gonna go from coolname.io to b0593290-370e-4710-8fba-a6b00cde400d.io

Just imagine trying to keep up with the latest javascript frameworks. "Was that b0593290-370e-4710-8fba-a6b00cde400d or b0593290-370e-4710-8fba-a6b00cdd400d?"

Can anyone explain the actual use case for such a tool?

It reminds me of a lightweight Kafka which makes it convenient to use local cli processes as inputs and outputs.

Hey - I just submitted a pull request for this, but thought I'd give a heads up here. The README.md has the import path wrong. It should be github.com instead of github.org.
