Show HN: Algosaur – cloud scripts for automation
Hello HackerNews! I would like to show you a concept project I've been working on for some time: https://algosaur.com https://algosaur.com
The initial idea was to create a platform capable of hosting small scripts which I constantly make for work and grating everyone access to them, without the need for downloading anything from github or console knowledge requirements. For ease of users' understanding I had to rename "scripts" to "bots" though.
If you are a developer you can hook your service to the platform and make it available to the public. If you know Ruby, you can plug your script directly (you'll have to contact me for this option though). Python can also be available in a matter of a week or two, if anyone ever shows interest.
Thanks for your time and looking forward to your feedback.
- samstave 9y agoYou should certainly add python - there will be far more interest.
- grammakov 9y agoThank you! I will definitely add Python, once there will be a developer willing to invest his time into the platform and potentially earn some income.
- samstave 9y agoCould you hook up with IFTT and Zapier etc to have a library of actionable bots be called on condition? (might be very dangerous though, so be careful with that idea) EDIT: Great! site and project -- is it just you?
- grammakov 9y agoI though about IFTTT, and will certainly give it another look after your comment. But I think you need to be a respectable app to be able to partner with them? I'm building the site on my own, yes.
- jaoo 9y agoSeems similar to www.algorithmia.com and www.rapidapi.com. However, you are required to run their scripts by writing your own code that calls their API. This service makes it simpler by removing the need of an API.
- grammakov 9y agoThanks for comparison. The two (awesome) sites are aimed at the developer to developer level, whereas Algosaur is more of a developer to casual non-coding user.
