Hi there. We are thinking about writing and open-sourcing a hook.io alternative. We would like to get a feeling for public demand and required features before committing resources. So please reply if you are looking for a replacement as well, and which features you would need!
Tnx!

What about using zmq as transport? It was in the roadmaps before.

Thanks,
Ruben Tan

Did anyone fork all of the hook.io projects before they disappeared? Link? I'm only finding versions that were last edited over a year ago.

Thanks. I actually forked the main hook.io project as well, and I think my fork has a couple extra commits yours doesn't.

I was hoping someone had forked all of the other hook.io projects. If I recall correctly, there were around a dozen hook projects, such as hook-mailer, hook-twilio, hook-irc, etc.

Ah, no, sorry. I realized I misunderstood after I sent it. Good luck.

You can find copies of the old code on npm ( such as https://npmjs.org/package/hook.io-twilio )

Marak,

Thanks for pointing out their existence on npm! Not sure why I didn't think of that.

I was hoping you would be willing to transfer the ownership of all hook.io projects to another github user. I would be willing to volunteer. We built an application based on it, and it hurts to no longer have the latests code on github.

Did you delete all of the hook.io repositories, or just make them private? It looks like the hookio github organization still exists, but no longer has any public repositories. Or, if they are deleted from github, do you still have them on your local system? And would you be willing to push them back onto github?

Thanks,
Tauren

I don't have access to any of those github repos anymore.

The biggest feature we use is the ability to have an application split into multiple processes and still communicate with each other via EventEmitter2 events.
