Ask HN: Yahoo Pipes Replacement?
Hey gang!
As some of you may have noticed, Yahoo! Pipes recently went dark (RIP).
A speed-reading service I developed and use daily, Glance.wtf, was built on top of Yahoo! Pipes, and now I'm looking for a Pipes-compatible replacement.
Fortunately, I was able to extract the Pipe-bodies before Pipes died, and those are available here: https://github.com/GlanceApps/PipeIDs/tree/master/pipes
There are two interesting solutions I can see: pipe2py (https://github.com/ggaughan/pipe2py) + Google App Engine and pipes2js (https://github.com/neyric/pipes2js) + AWS SWF/Lambda.
But really, I'd just like to get my service back up again with as little time and money being required as possible. I'm hoping that somebody else out there has already come up with a hosted Pipes replacement that I can simply piggy-back on.
Does anybody know of anything like that, or have any suggestions about how to best solve this platform migration problem?
Thanks!,
R

- knight17 11y agoThere are no exact replacements with GUI and everything, but there are few options: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/12-best-yahoo-pipes-alternatives-look/ http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/12-best-yahoo-pipes-alternative...
