Show HN: Pipecat – Connect message queues with Unix pipes
github.comThis looks really cool. I went ahead and added it to the Arch User Repositories[0].
Ok, I know message queues[1] are not the most popular part of System V IPC, but was it really necessary to overload the name?
(I mean ActiveMQ et al overloading "message queue" in general, not you pipecat project)

Great job! I am definitely gonna use this daily!
hey guys can u provide usage scenario ?
Why no 0mq? :)
I don't have any experience with zeromq as I mostly deal with AMQP protocols. But good that you mention it - if there is a demand I can dig into it.
There are quite a few other message queue systems out there. I can also imagine that pipecat could work as a kind of migration systems between them. But this probably should be a separate tool as it requires shuffling around metadata as well.
Very cool!
That logo... yikes.
Yeah... Maybe change it to a cat crawling into a pipe? Depicted from the side?
Well it's...memorable?
Now that I look at it again it also seems offensive. Switched it to a more boring but more suitable logo.
Thanks.
I didn't see anything wrong with the old logo. Too bad you felt the need to change it.
Yea, cats have/are prominent assholes. It's just how they are!
I actually liked the original logo, despite my comment. The new one works very well, too.
