summary

A rapid tour of concrete hacks: demos of chainsaw-based module composition and a published npm called discover that parses pages with htmlparser + soupselect to return an array of RSS/Atom links, using CoffeeScript and chainsaw flow control so operations are non-blocking feed discovery. Redis pub/sub is used for IPC, now.js for shared namespaces and remote calls, request for HTTP with auto-redirects, and a claim of aggregating thousands of feeds — the modules are shown running end to end.
