Pipes was such a good product and sorely missed. Is there anything equivalent to it today?
- dewey 7y agoI think there's a lot of projects in this space right now. Especially also fueled by all the people building things the "no code" way. IFTTT, Zapier, Webflow, integromat etc.
- blowski 7y agoimport.io mixed with Zapier / IFTT
- harrisreynolds 7y agoI think Zapier and IFTTT fill this gap today.
- geraldbauer 7y agoYou can use modern scripting languages such as Python, Ruby and friends. They will never go out of fashion if you want to put together a pipeline (also known as workflow or script :-).
- naikrovek 7y agoI really don't think Python qualifies as an equivalent replacement for Pipes.
- geraldbauer 7y agoOf course not :-) Python, Ruby and friends can do so much more (and you can run your pipes on your own computer, for example, ...).
- slightwinder 7y agoYou completly miss the point of what made pipe so useful. Good languages existed back than too, and there were as powerful as today, as they are complicated and timeconsuming. They are simply not an alternative for this.

- welanes 7y agoI'm in the middle of pushing out v1.0 of Simple scraper[0] this week which will recreate some of the functionality. Having a lot of fun building the product but with so many of these types of companies shutting down it has me wondering what it forebodes :/ [0] https://simplescraper.io https://simplescraper.io
