I have to plug one of my favorite workflow automation tools that is a namesake and was fairly recently developed: https://pipedream.com/

Would definitely give it a try if you’re looking to automate Yahoo Pipes style.

I have no affiliation to them, just a happy user

View on HN

Just signed up this seems like it will replace some docker containers I have running on a free tier of fly.io dumping into a supabase free tier. Very cool thank you for sharing!

The owner, tod sacerdoti, is using it to scrape top stories from lobste.rs and submit them to HN as a karma arbitrage pump. Search todsacerdoti on https://gerikson.com/hnlo/ to see what I’m talking about. Judging by the amount of HN karma he’s accumulated it seems to work very well.

TIL. Cross-posting breaks silos

Wow. Gaslight much?

Consider setting a delay of a few days before reposting, sometimes people post their own stuff on lobste.rs, want to also post on HN and you've already done so. It can be perceived negatively.

https://windmill.dev is a self-hostable OSS alternative to pipedream

(disclaimer: I'm founder)

Can I self-host it?

No I don’t think so. You probably want n8n if you’re keen on self-hosting.

N8N is closed source though, which is a shame because it means we end users can't fix any of the copious quantity of bugs...
