Products that do what Floww – A code-first alternative to n8n does
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 =…

A few weeks ago I got rejected from a role and the feedback was that I needed a deeper understanding of FAISS and LlamaIndex. So I built triage.flow — an AI assistant that lets you explore and understand GitHub repositories through a chat interface. It clones a repo, indexes it using FAISS + BM25 + tree-sitter parsing, and powers a full UI where you can: - Ask natural-language questions like “how does auth work?” or “explain @src/components/Modal.tsx” - Mention specific files/folders with @filename.ts (autocomplete supported) - See how the agent thinks in real time (Thought →…

Hi HN, A lot of the dev teams I have worked with had a lot of issues with their documentation. In fact, some of my easiest clients to get were from clients that had "black box" solutions that devs no longer at the company had created. Personally, writing documentation is like grinding nails on a chalkboard. I have been having a lot of fun with building solutions that can run in a distributed way, not something a dev needs to run themselves. And after a significant amount of testing and building out several different solutions, I finally have a solution that is easy to set up and runs in the…

Hi, I have been building small AI Agents for quite some time now using various frameworks and one thing that always bugged me was that iterating on small things like prompts, flows, tools etc always took a code change + deployment of the app. While the prompt part can be solved with Langfuse I haven't found a good way to keep the flow management remote (and open source). Lately I have been working with Genkit (https://github.com/firebase/genkit) and love how modular it is. So I thought why not build a UI builder on top of that that can handle simple flows, prompts and…

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a side project I've been working on that I think could be really useful for a lot of people, especially those in the web development and no-code space. As a developer with over five years of experience, I've done my fair share of freelance web development projects. Initially, I always coded everything from scratch, but as I took on more projects simultaneously, I started using Webflow to save time. While Webflow was helpful, I often found myself wishing for a faster way to set up a website – something that would allow me to start with a template and then…

Hey HN, We’re excited to share PySpur, an open-source tool that provides a graph-based interface for building, debugging, and evaluating LLM workflows. Why we built this: Before this, we built several LLM-powered applications that collectively served thousands of users. The biggest challenge we faced was ensuring reliability: making sure the workflows were robust enough to handle edge cases and deliver consistent results. In practice, achieving this reliability meant repeatedly: 1. Breaking down complex goals into simpler steps: Composing prompts, tool calls, parsing steps, and branching…
