I made SIGILS, a web-based item pipe replacement and factory manager

SIGILS, the Shack Industries Graphical Item Logistics Software, is a system where you connect your in-game machines to a ComputerCraft computer with wired modems and create virtual item pipes using a web browser.

Basically I was playing a modpack and I got tired of having to organize all my pipes just to break them when I needed to change them, so being a programmer I decided that the solution to all things is software.

A tutorial for the basic usage of SIGILS is available. I intended to make a video about it but without any external motivation, I stopped working on it when I stopped playing my modded playthrough. I think most of my playthrough was spent programming SIGILS, though.

Anyone brave enough to try SIGILS can report issues to the GitHub issues page. Maybe if people start using it, I'll be motivated to work on it again.

Here's a screenshot of a basic mass-smelting setup. If you drag any machine into another machine, you can combine them into super-machines and make groups of their slots that you can create pipes to and from. This one combines furnaces, blast furnaces, and smokers into one mega-furnace:

And here's a screenshot of a section of my factory from last playthrough, which processes ores in my massive Integrated Dynamics chest monster, generates obsidian with Create and Integrated Dynamics, and runs my Immersive Engineering potato-to-biodiesel refinery.

Some mods don't play nice with the ComputerCraft Inventory API, such as Mekanism, so as a workaround I attach hoppers and Create chutes stuff to the sides of Mekanism machines and connect the hoppers to the wired modems instead, which SIGILS pipes items between.

Oh, this is incredibly cool! I'm amazed how much polish you've put into the UI here — it's like an even flashier steve's factory manager.
