Is it possible to throttle a rss 2 twitter chain? #255

It would be nice to have a throttling mechanism in order to be able to chain a high volume rss feed to Twitter, making sure that there is only one random tweet sent per hour. Otherwise one could get blocked quite fast.

Or does such a mechanism exist and i am just blind? :)

There is no such mechanism at this point, sorry. It is an interesting suggestion however, thank you!

I think more generally a system of intermediate hives / steps on a chain could improve the workflow proposed. Something like node-red is doing where you can chain an "emitter" to one or multiples "transformer" and output that to other "transformers" / "transmitters".

Node-red graphical view is nice but may also be too much for beehive ?

@Zykino This is technically possible, but the admin interface lacks the UI/UX for it. I'm currently working on a new interface, but I fully admit struggling with the workload at the moment.
