Grouping of Apps

Many App ecosystems have multiple app entries with no way to view them all unless they are named.

For example the native Pipedream suite of:

Helper Functions

Data Stores

Filter

Formatting

Can there be a way to view apps related to an app?

Or just rename the pipedream suite to include the name so we can find it faster?

Totally agree. Tagging @michael and @danny

Iā€™m a newcomer to the platform, and this is also a big problem for me. I donā€™t have a clear picture of what actions are available because the naming seems random. And because there is no grouping, such as under a top-level Pipedream namespace for core functions, I donā€™t feel confident that I even know what core functions are available. It always feels like Iā€™m missing something, and there doesnā€™t appear to be any good way to search. I also find the browsing experience difficult to use.

Itā€™s funny, this is actually worse since I posted this.

Itā€™s overall better everywhere on the platform, nothing but upgrades but the grocery shop and ingredients is worse because the scope of these features has grown and itā€™s almost too easy to get lost in the sauce now.

I have a notion table with names and functions as a ā€œcheat sheetā€ I make it each time I connect a new account and have a list and keep my eyes peeled for changes and update it.

Itā€™s like a code library, you need to maintain it

@davies :sob: Too bad! This seems like low hanging fruit, but maybe itā€™s harder than it seems. But Iā€™ve spent way too much time scrolling their list of actions. If you have the Notion table made in a way that you can share it, Iā€™d love a copy.

Iā€™ll happily share that. Need a bit of time because itā€™s in my internal tools and has some specific references to flows I have. Gonna do some hygiene and post it

Thank you very much, it will be helpful to have it. Iā€™m also a heavy Notion user so thatā€™s an ideal place to keep it for me too.

I ended up going to the github repo and downloaded all of the codebase and parsed out the folders of the componants. it says i have 1500~ componants, which Pipedream says it has over 2500. not sure if this just doesnt include the ones that were without actions that just had auth for custom code?

have fun

Good idea! I may want to try to categorize these for easy searching. The group that I want to be able to see the most is just core functions. Donā€™t suppose you could either export this or make it editable so that I can duplicate into my own workspace?

Hi all,

The core functions were migrated into a ā€˜Pipedream Utilsā€™ app. This includes the Helper Functions and Formatting components. Since there are many ā€œoldā€ actions, feel free to submit feature requests / bug reports in our public repo!

For others, you might want to search for:

  • Pipedream
  • Data Stores
  • Control Flow

I donā€™t think there are any other ones
