Little known fact: this project is used widely by journalists who can't code (at The New York Times, among others) to do a variety of tasks, like eg. monitoring web pages like Trump's policy position, scraping press releases or filtering out very specific news alerts.

see Huginn for Newsrooms: http://albertsun.github.io/huginn-newsroom-scenarios/

It's been at least as useful as Yahoo! Pipes, and endlessly more reliable. Thanks a lot!

Yes! Albert's work using Huginn at the NYTimes (and contributing some changes back) was one of the big early successes for the project.
