Similar or complementary to Huginn

Decided there should be a place to track interesting things related or complementary to Huginn (other than the random 'never quite sure if they should be closed' issues I keep opening)

Feel free to add new things, but let's try and keep them in some kind of alphabetized order.

Systems

• Actionsflow - Automate your workflows based on Github actions
• Beehive - A flexible event/agent & automation system with lots of bees
• DataFire - An open source framework for building and integrating APIs. Each integration provides a set of composable actions. New actions can be built by combining existing actions, JavaScript, and external libraries. They are driven by JavaScript Promises, and can be triggered by a URL, on a schedule, or manually.
• Kibitzr - Get notified when important things happen
• n8n.io Extendable workflow automation developed in TypeScript (Typed JavaScript) with an Apache 2.0 license.
• Netflix Scumblr (#1522) - A web application that allows performing periodic searches and storing / taking actions on the identified results.
• Node-RED (#1296) - A tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs, and online services in new and interesting ways.
• NoFlo - A JavaScript implementation of Flow-Based Programming (FBP). Separating the control flow of software from the actual software logic. Helping you organize large applications easier than traditional OOP paradigms, especially when importing and modifying large data sets.
• Pico-Engine - A prototype implementation of the pico-engine written in node.js
• Riemann - "A network event stream processing system, in Clojure. Riemann aggregates events from your servers and applications with a powerful stream processing language."
• RSS-Bridge - A PHP application offering a wide selection of feeds for popular and niche services. This includes several services where queries are involved, such as translating Twitter accounts or searches into atom/JSON feeds. Possibly a valuable source of easy data for simpler Huginn scenarios.
• Trigger Happy - "opensource clone of IFTTT, a bridge between your internet services"
• Welcomer Framework - Supports building microservices to flexibly automate your online tasks, putting control of your personal data back in your hands.

SaaS

• Netflix Workflowable (#1522) - A Ruby gem that allows adding flexible workflow functionality to Ruby on Rails Applications. Workflowable provides an admin interface for configuring workflows, adding stages, triggering automatic actions, etc.

Concepts

• Phil Windley, et al (#653) - Wrote the book on evented cloud-based systems, literally.
• Evented API - We envision a world where applications integrate multiple products and services as equals based on event-driven interactions. Event APIs following the form described in this document enable building such applications.
• The Live Web - Imagine a world in which your phone automatically mutes the ringer when you start watching a movie. Imagine a world in which your alarm clock sets itself based on your schedule and other information like the weather, the traffic, and your past behavior. Imagine a world in which the mundane parts of business travel or scheduling an appointment with a new doctor are automatically taken care of according to your preferences. That world is the Live Web.
