Hey, we’ve been working on an open-source project built on top of Comfy for the last few weeks. It is still very much a work in progress, but I think it is at a place where it could start to be useful. The idea is that you can turn a workflow into a web app with an easy-to-use UI. Currently, it should work with any workflows that take images and text as input and return images. We are aiming to add video support over the next few days. Feedback and contributions are more than welcome!

I spent the past few weeks making an open source cloud code editing environment with an AI copilot and multiplayer collaboration! It's fully self-hostable in 5-10 minutes. There's a lot of minor improvements to be made, and some are already listed in the Github issues. Let me know what you think and feel free to try it out.

I'd like to share a project I've been working on for the past few months. It's a distributed workflow engine written entirely in Go. Some highlights: * Tasks are executed in a Docker container * Can run stand-alone or distributed * Highly extensible * Able to enforce limits (CPU/RAM) per task * Web UI Would love the get your feedback on it, and find out if this could be useful.

Hey I recently stumbled upon AppFlowy (https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy), an open-source project that caught my attention. It's essentially a Notion-like workspace, but with a twist: Built with Flutter (front-end) and Rust (back-end) Fully open-source and self-hostable Focuses on data privacy and ownership What I find interesting: The tech stack choice - combining Flutter's UI capabilities with Rust's performance It's positioning as a privacy-focused alternative to Notion The potential for customization and extension due to its open-source nature

Many workflow tools struggle to optimize for both long-term projects and short-term tasks with the necessary responsiveness. Additionally, these tools often come with too many features, complicating customization for specific service needs. We've developed a workflow engine that prioritizes performance while offering the flexibility of a low-code solution. Our engine is easily customizable to meet diverse service demands. Initially, we focused on nodes tailored for short-term tasks, with plans to expand to support long-term project management. With our workflow engine, you can seamlessly…
