Can Anyone Confirm if Creating a Custom Component on Pipedream Platform is Possible without Assistance?

So to all my Pipedreamers out there. My mind is blown after todays vid from Thomas Frank.

it is a near perfect example and usecase for the platform and demonstrates that we can make something greater than the sum of its parts.

However the use of a custom component has me scratching my head.

Can anyone confirm if this is something that anyone can do or did he have a little help from the team? I dont see any recent PRs that handle this type of component but I am really interested in making something similar to bundle specific actions!

Hi Davies - anyone can create their own custom components!

You can publish them privately to your own Pipedream account, or contribute them to the entire Pipedream community at large:

I recommend getting started by learning how Node.js code steps work, since they are essentially the same system as Actions.

Thank you! I was, and still am alitte confused becuase i thought that these would be discoverable in explore or other browsing options but could not find a trace of it outside his sharable workflows.

Will get to tinkering!
