The landing page is informative and very well put together. I don't have an immediate use case for using it, but it looks neat!

What's your long term goal for the project?

Thanks! Long-term, we're building Pipedream to be a fully-programmable platform for managing integrations between apps. Think of it as IFTTT for developers. Paid plans and team features are coming soon.

Event sources are one piece of that. RSS is one type of source, but we're creating sources for Twitter, Slack, Github, and all of the apps supported on Pipedream today [1]. Sources expose a single API for retrieving events from many platforms. So if you just want to run code on new Twitter mentions, Slack messages, or new Github PRs, Pipedream tries to abstract the API-specific details, so you just

    pd deploy

and Pipedream emits new events as the source produces them.
