Sounds like fun, and the "mini-startups" idea is intriguing, but I'm confused on how it's different from something like Github, a central location where people already write scripts and upload them for others to use or modify. Would your server run the snippets of code that people upload? If so, I'm sure you can anticipate the security concerns, plus, I don't want someone being able to set up a tasklet to call my phone every weekday at 8:10 ;)
- tectonic 16y agoI'm picturing something like the Rubygem system. You might do: gem install tasklets sudo tasklets setup tasklets install weather-alert tasklets --task weather-alert --configure zipcode=12345 Or something. With a central repo for the tasklets.
- thinkalone 16y agoAh, ok, I'm not sure why I didn't realize it would be more repository-style, haha. In that case, how would it differ from Rubygem? Seems like many languages already have package managers, but I'm not sure what the requirements are for getting your code included, so maybe there's an opportunity there?
