Show HN: Webhook – incoming webhook server to execute commands (github.com/adnanh)

For what it's worth, I've also created a little similar tool that we use - it's specifically for Github and does a lot less for you, basically just routing JSON bodies to the standard input of commands.

On the other hand it's quite lite and simple. About 9 out of 10 of our hooks are written in bash using jq.

I did similar thing quite a while ago :)

The amount of ads on this GH project summary is completely unacceptable.


I was particularly taken aback the explicit "please help me by generating fraudulent ad clicks" line:

> You can show support by clicking the codesponsor.io ad below

I know ad fraud is a relatively victimless crime and arguably half the internet runs on it, but still, it makes me wonder about the author's moral standpoints. And that's even before I can find out what this project does. :-)


Not sure if there were ads the other 11 times this was submitted as Show HN.

It's a nice little tool and I was planning to use it in production but does it really need a Show HN submission every 20 commits?


Surely this could be automated. If only HN had webhooks for new submissions...

Show HN: New version of Pandora Nexus released. (Build #163)


Why?


Nobody goes to the README for ads. The README is for a description of the project, and maybe some documentation. When I open the file, that's what I should see, not an ad for the paid version of the project and links to five different monetization services. I'm being advertised to and I have no idea what the project does yet! Granted, if I'm reading on GitHub, then I get a brief blurb at the very top of the screen - and even that's followed by another link to the paid version.


Jesus since when do "free code" repositories include so many ads?


why would I use this instead of aws lambda?
