Description
Hi HN,I'm a creator of Floww, a self-hostable workflow automation tool designed for developers who got frustrated by the limitations of visual builders like n8n. It's still a very early prototype, but the goal is to provide these same features in a code-first approach which allows for building and maintaining more complex workflows more easily.Example: import { Discord, GitHub } from "floww"; const discord = new Discord() const github = new GitHub() github.triggers.onPush({ branch: "main", owner: "usefloww", repository: "floww-dashboard", handler: async (ctx, event) => { const user = event.body.sender.login; const repository = event.body.repository.name; await discord.actions.sendMessage({ channelId: "1436671493651169290", content: New push to ${repository} by ${user} }) }, }); Would love to hear what you think, and what functionality we need to add for you to consider this for your next automation

Could you build this?
Yes A code-first workflow automation prototype in TypeScript/Node involves building a DAG runner and wrapping standard integration APIs, which fits well within standard vibe-coding capabilities.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
