Yahoo Pipes

From IndieWeb


Yahoo Pipes was a tool provided by Yahoo to allow combining, filtering, and remixing feeds such as RSS and Atom or scrape web pages into new feeds using graphical flow programming.

It was in service at pipes.yahoo.com from 2007 to 2015[1]. It allowed users to combine and transform websites, feeds and other data sources for their own uses.

I wrote this history of the graphical web-based processing tool that sure seemed like the future when it was introduced! https://retool.com/pipes I interviewed the core team and several other folks so we could finally have a definitive history. (And forget my words, evenβ€”the illustrations are amazing!)This is part of a series at Retool, a visual programming tools company, that decided to make sure the past wasn’t forgotten." @glennf December 14, 2023
