PolitePol VS pipes

Remember Politepol can be self-hosted: https://github.com/taroved/pol

I wish to host this politepol: https://github.com/taroved/pol to my own heroku hosting.

Politepol for random page monitoring

Similar tool for "RSS from any page": https://github.com/taroved/pol#readme

Not sure what are the differences though

https://github.com/pipes-digital/pipes can extract feeds from pages. Pattern recognizer logic when trying the UI is a bit simple, but you can also write selectors on your own. It could work for you.

I'm not sure I understand the need, but take a look at https://pipes.digital/

Merging feeds is one of the main use cases of my site pipes. It might be one of the site you stumbled upon and dismissed, but there is an AGPL licensed version you can self-host at https://github.com/pipes-digital/pipes.

Great writeup, especially with all the workflow canvas screenshots. Makes me want to try out Node-RED.

From a few weeks ago on HN:

https://github.com/pipes-digital/pipes

“pipes.digital is a spiritual successor to Yahoo Pipes, a graphical interface to get data from the web and to manipulate it by connecting block”

These look like great tools.

I think calling these low-code / no-code frameworks is however quite misleading though, because there is actually code, it’s just inside the component! Code still has to be written.

One thing that these low-code / no-code frameworks do well is provide a structure that you can easily show visually.

This is particularity useful when you have to work with clients that aren’t that technical. It makes creating specifications much easier, which can be reviewed and revised before embarking on a big development effort.
