Hep
I’m happy to present my new project: Hep. Hep is my attempt at building a multi-protocol internet client that thinks the way I do. Currently, it’s not much more than a news aggregator, fetching messages and bits of news from various places on the internet and displaying them to you. By the time it’s done it should be much more – a tool for viewing, editing, and transferring information in and through many different systems.
If that sounds vague, here are some examples:
- You could post a message to your weblog and CC your Advogato diary, a co-worker (through e-mail) and a friend (through instant messaging)
- You could sort, filter, and archive RSS headlines just like you do e-mail
- You could set up a filter that sends you a text message whenever you get an e-mail from your spouse
- You could create a “Banana News” weblog that gets automatically updated any time one of the websites you read posts an article about bananas.
And hopefully you’ll think of wonderful new things to do with Hep, things that I haven’t thought of yet.
Right now Hep is in the early stages of development. It runs without crashing, but it doesn’t do very much. If you’re feeling curious, you can try it out.
