Are you a developer?
Do you like to try things before other people? Do you feel happy when you find a bug? Do you code until you fall asleep on your keyboard? Do you know that 1337 is not really a number? Then you’re the one.
We’re still developing tarpipe but we’d like to share with you everything that’s going on behind the scenes. That’s why we decided to invite a number of developers (like you, right?) to start experimenting early on, when there’s still room for lots of changes.
So, if you’re a developer, introduce yourself and we’ll get back to you with an invite code so that you can try tarpipe from the beginning. Remember that this is an alpha version, which means that everything can stop working or behave unexpectedly. Just don’t use our API inside any production code. Yet.
Oh, by the way, the screenshot is from our workflow editor. In case you were curious.
Great to hear that!
I looking forward to test the alpha version.

Just wondering if there’s any documentation available for Tarpipe as yet. I’ve been fiddling with it, and it doesn’t seem to do what I think it should…

Thanks for the comments.
Pat J: documentation is available at http://dev.tarpipe.com/developers/ and also http://dev.tarpipe.com/developers/guide/
Can you be more specific on what you are trying to do?

Sure. Here’s a quick snapshot of what my pipe looks like.
I send mail to the email address indicated and… nothing happens. My expectation is to receive the message I just sent back to the same email address that sent it (ie, my Gmail account), but nothing appears. When I click on the Activity tab, I’m told “No activity yet…”.
Thanks!

Pat J:
I looked at your workflow configuration and it looks like the description is empty. Our workflow handler was seeing that as an error and just stopped.
I changed some of the code to let you have an empty description, but be sure to use at least one wire per connector.
You should open your workflow and just save it so that the system saves it properly. Then you’ll be able to use it.
Thanks for your feedback.

Hmmm… I had entered
reformat and remail? I think?in the description field. It shows up when I check out the workflow. I don’t know why it would look empty from your end…Comment by Pat J — May 9, 2008 @ 1:57 pm
