I did something very similar for handling webhooks (but can also be used for anything else), check it out at https://github.com/adnanh/webhook

People have used it in various segments, from actual deployments on push, to home automation, someone even wrote a guide on how to control the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum using the Amazon Dash button :-)

Great project! However, I think our projects similar but not the same. Looks like we can exchange some ideas from each-other

Yeah, my guess is that they share the same concept - expose triggers via HTTP(s) to run user commands. The webhook handling put on some additional requirements on my project: to go a little bit beyond piping the input to the script :-)

Right. Trusted-cgi also adds security checks (with various checks), "actions", scheduler and web UI =)

I would like to suggest to stop measure benefits of both projects and just "steal" them from each other, making end-user experience better for both projects ;-)
