Note that this may be a good alternative for people looking to move forward without hook.io:

 Giving up on node.js / Flatiron / hook.io

Internet Friends -
 
I'm sure it will come as a pleasant surprise for most of you to hear I'm
leaving node.js for good. I'll also be stepping down from any involvement
with Flatiron and completely shutting down hook.io
 
In all honesty, I don't think there is much of a loss here for anyone.
 
The Flatiron framework is pretty much pointless and I'd advise against
using it. I started to add some really good reflection features, but since
my access has now been removed from Flatiron, I'll no longer be able to
advance or maintain any of these features.
 
The same advice goes for hook.io. hook.io was a great idea, but it's been
systematically made obsolete by Nodejitsu in favor of a closed
source priority solution. I'd love to be able to share this with you, but
it's closed source, so thats that. I was rebuilding hook.io to use
Flatiron, but without the ability to work on Flatiron anymore, it's all
moot.
 
It's really sad to wind all this down, but I don't have a choice in the
matter. I've been fired from Nodejitsu and no longer have the resources or
git commit access to move any of this stuff forward.
 
Anyway, thanks for all the good and bad times and goodbye.

Looks promising. Is this a fork, or from scratch semi-compatible project?

Cheers,

Curious, what features in hook aren't in tinyhook? What tradeoffs did you make to increase performance? Why not just add the to hook.io / fork?

Cheers,
