It is not without emotion that I come to announce to you today the
availability as Free Software of some code we have been developing -
and extensively using - here at Que Choisir.
Sounds amazing! can it be used to automate jobs in desktop via a gui? Or is the
focus purely on web admin/ server stuff? Is it like a free (faif) version of
IfThisThenThat?
Thanks for your cheering!
To answer your question:
- I don't know about IfThisThenThat, and if https://ifttt.com/ is the
one, I'm not sure I understand exactly what it does... Can you give us
more insight / info / use cases on this?
- evQueue and its management interface are pure Free Software as we like
it :)
- although evQueue was designed mainly for server stuff, there is
nothing preventing you from running it on your local machine;
- the evQueue engine is C++ so it can run on basically any computer (and
it is packaged for debian);
- the monitoring/management interface does allow you precisely to
automate jobs, those jobs can be any executable with any parameters. And
the sequencing of those jobs can indeed be done using a GUI;
- that interface is web-based (PHP) so you would have to have a local
web server though. Maybe we'll see more interfaces for desktop/mobile in
the future using evQueue in the background :)
We are planning to add a section on the evqueue.net website with use cases.
Maybe if you'd like to describe us a common workflow you can have in
IfThenThanThat, I could work on having it using evQueue, and present it
in the use cases.
Thanks again,
Nico
