    Hey, HN community, We're so excited to share Automatisch with HN finally. Automatisch is an open-source workflow automation tool, an alternative to Zapier. Together with my co-founder (@barinali), we have been working on it for about 15 months and have started getting early adopters. Automatisch is a workflow automation tool that lets you connect different web services like Slack, Github, Twitter, and more to automate your business processes. For example, you can build automation that gets all new tweets, including the "open source" phrase, and post them to the Slack channel you specified.…

    Hi HN! I’ve been running GitHub Actions workflows for a while, and when GitHub announced the new ubuntu-slim runners as a cheaper alternative to ubuntu-latest, I wanted to migrate—but figuring out which workflows are safe to switch turned out to be surprisingly tedious. You need to check for Docker usage, services, containers, step failures due to missing packages, and whether jobs rely on tools not available in the slim image. So I built gh-slimify, a GitHub CLI extension that automates all of this. It scans your repository, detects which jobs can be migrated, flags incompatible patterns,…

    Hey HN – Gregor & Magnus here again. A few months ago, we launched Browser Use (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43173378), which let LLMs perform tasks in the browser using natural language prompts. It was great for one-off tasks like booking flights or finding products—but we soon realized enterprises have somewhat different needs: They typically have one workflow with dynamic variables (e.g., filling out a form and downloading a PDF) that they want to reliably run a million times without breaking. Pure LLM agents were slow, expensive, and unpredictable for these…

    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 =…

    Hey HN, I just released github-actions-workflow-ts, an NPM package that allows you to write GitHub Actions workflows in Typescript rather than YAML. The package then generates GH Actions workflow YAML files from your Typescript code. Why? - Type safety - Code re-usability: package and reuse common jobs and steps across different workflows. - Imperative edge: Utilize control flow to control the generation of different kinds of workflows easily. Essentially, I realized that as I write larger and more complicated GH Actions workflows in YAML, they become less readable and thus more prone to…
