I sort of feel like the right way to go is build tools that can feed into each other in ways that let users who DO want to go crazy to build their own workflows, instead of creating a single tool that tries to do everything. Basically the Unix philosophy where you pipe everything into everything else.

I mean, yes, pipes are a very good option, I just want to point out that the exact form is less important than having something you can hook into.
- runevault 6y agoFair. Pipes were just the easiest way to describe the IDEA.
