Our one year anniversary
It’s Pipes first birthday and we’ve grown so much!
We’d like to thank our users and developers for making Pipes so successful. It really makes us enjoy getting up in the morning and coming to work.
Since our launch (way back in 07), we have been focused on listening to what you want and prioritizing those features in each release. This has meant adding over 20 new modules, redesigning our site to make Pipes easier to find and use, and numerous backend enhancements. As always, please give us your suggestions here.
It’s amazing to see the variety of Pipes that people have been building using the simple visual editor we provide. These range from translating text from one language to another, to searching for the best apartments near a park, to monitoring hundreds of RSS feeds for certain topics.
In the past year we’ve adding some cool features such as, Flash support (tutorial link), iPhone support (wired buzz), Private Field support (external tutorial link) and Fetch Page module (external tutorial link) just to name a few.
We also have had some awesome tutorials created by our amazing users. Here are some recent articles:
