Has anyone used hook.io as an alternative? I have only built toy projects with it, nothing substantial, so I can't speak to important things like error handling, but so far I really like it and find it substantially easier to use than Lambda.

I used hook.io in its early days. It once lost the data in its internal data store when they were doing a database migration, rendering my hooks useless until I manually intervened. Haven't really used it much longer after that, but due to not needing it anymore.

Creator of hook.io checking in. Sorry to hear you had an issue.

We haven't had any recorded incidents of lost data. We did have an issue after a security upgrade where older accounts did need to be migrated with new access tokens. If you lost any data drop me an email and I'd be glad to find it.

The internal datastore is mostly for development purposes. We generally recommend persisting data to an external database like DynamoDB.

I've been watching it for a while but always feel turned off by the huge amount of exclamation marks all over!!!

We did push a visual re-design to the site a week or two ago and rewrote a bit of copy, maybe it may have less exclamation marks now?

If it would make you more inclined to try the platform, I'm glad to adjust the tone of the copy. I get easily excited!

Hey Marak, sorry, I think I came across as too snarky and I think it'd be a good rule to always imagine the author/creator will read/reply. So with that in mind, I think hook.io is really cool and thanks for your excitement.
