would love to see an open source initiative in this space. Might even give it a go, anyone interested? Would love to host my own trigger / web hook service that i can use across applications.
Yep you're right, that one solve a very specific problem about monitoring resources. We want to empower people to build products in an easier and more efficient way :)
We're currently building [something][1] in almost this exact space but with more flexibility to insert custom code and run on one's own metal. The majority of the resulting application will be [open source][2], once we're out there.
To pull our own description across, we're building a declarative, scalable, polyglot web framework.
