Wasn't the idea of Yahoo! Pipes[1] the aggregration of RSS feeds? It actually did that and did a really good job of it. I would prefer something visual like Yahoo! Pipes for aggregating RSS feeds - everything else is just another list...

Then we could all share our pipes and build better ones on top of existing pipes. The thing with Pipes was that you could also filter feeds and use Pipes as feeds for other pipes ... Yahoo! Pipes was a great product that was way ahead of its time.

If anyone is interested in actually replicating this, then I would suggest using Node-RED[2] as a stand-in for Pipes.

Maybe also have a look at my https://www.pipes.digital/ if you want that :) Filtering and merging RSS feeds is the main use case, and I made sure to have some features to enable building on top of other pipes (a prominent fork button for shared pipes and a pipe block).

Great stuff :) That's exactly what I meant :thumbsup:

I actually found www.pipes.digital in my mind map with a comment to the effect that it's a Yahoo! pipes replacement - so I come across it a year ago in fact.

I'm sticking to Node-RED simply because that's what I know - also its open source and very extendable, so that's why its my cup of tea.

EDIT: Pipes is also open source --> https://github.com/pipes-digital/pipes --> sorry didn't see that.

Great that you found the Foss version :) I hesitated there because it needs an update, and node-red is great and easier to extended. So if you are already familiar with it a great choice.
