Mashups – Resurrecting Yahoo Pipes, my side project
Hey everyone. For those who remember, Yahoo Pipes was a tool to mashup RSS feeds back in the good ole' days. :) I really loved that tool, but of course, it was shut down. Since then I know there's been a few tools and attempts at bringing it back. I always wanted to create Yahoo Pipes clone myself. So here is my small side project - Mashups.io https://www.mashups.io It's an MVP at the moment and well, let's see where it goes. Thanks all!
Mashups – Resurrecting Yahoo Pipes, my side project launched on January 6, 2025 with 166 votes, #241 of 6,142 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Mashups is a tool that recreates the functionality of Yahoo Pipes, allowing users to combine and manipulate RSS feeds. It is designed for people who miss the original Pipes tool and want to create custom feed mashups. The project is currently in early MVP stage, offering basic functionality for RSS feed remixing and combination.

Extract an RSS feed from almost anything2023 · rssfeedasap.com · ▲151Howdy! RSSfeedASAP scratches my own itch. I run a regional podcasting directory which gets dozens of messy submission for podcasts. Often they don't even include an xml file and me being a good samaritan I sometimes do the manual work and find it myself. I got tired of that manual work and decided to build a microapp. RSSfeedASAP is this app and I decided to release it in case someone else finds any use in it.
- YNYou Need Feeds – Introduce friends/family/workmates to RSS and webfeeds2018 · ▲205
Partially inspired by recent discussions on HN and other places. I've made a single-focus site to introduce your friends/colleagues/neighbours/family to RSS and web feeds. https://www.youneedfeeds.com/ The site is meant to give the elevator pitch for feeds, show a newbie what feeds are and how to use them, set them up with a reader, and give them some nice starter content if they want it. So much tastemaking and newsmaking power is concentrated in the hands of Facebook/Reddit/Twitter, but I'm convinced it's because much of the general populace doesn't…
Git Hooting2023 · git.ht · ▲12400's called, they want their RSS feeds back. I was looking at my growing Github gist collection when a sudden urge to blog and make a name for myself "by not programming" struck. Part way into implementing my oh so special static website generator it occurred to me that, quite frankly, Github gists is a pretty decent publishing platform. I mean, it gives you reasonably extended markdown with previews, heck I could even write in org-mode, has comments, follower - followee relationship, extended search with filters, check out locally and push your edits. Did someone say "edit button"? Thus the…

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
