FastFlowTrack

What it does

I have run machine shops for 35 years and couldn't find affordable software that actually worked for a small shop. Everything out there was built for Boeing or priced like it was. So I built my own. FastFlowTrack tracks work orders, operators, and inventory in real time from any phone on the shop floor. Live operator timers, bottleneck analysis, job estimating from real production data, and customer job tracking links. Built by a machinist, for machine shops.

Shop floor software built by a machinist for machine shops. Track work orders, log operator time, manage inventory, and send invoices — all in real time from any phone or browser. No IT required. No long contracts.

Real-time work order tracking built for the shop floor. QR scan check-in, live operation status, job travelers with barcodes, and a full admin dashboard — all in one system. Everything runs in the browser — no installs, no software updates. Works on any computer, tablet, or phone on your network. Job Shop WOs track customer orders from quote to ship. Production Run WOs manage your internal product lines — pulling from raw material inventory and adding finished goods to stock when complete. Build operation sequences with time-per-part estimates, machine assignments, and operator notes. When parts are logged at an operation, the system automatically advances to the next one. Every operation…from fastflowtrack.com

  Parabola.io – Automate your work with visual programming2018 · parabola.io · ▲291

  Hi HN! I’m Alex from Parabola (https://parabola.io). Parabola is a visual programming tool for creating functional data flows that everyone can use. It’s entirely drag-and-drop, handles data sizes much larger than a traditional spreadsheet, calculates everything live, and can run your flows on a schedule of your choosing. I used to work in strategy consulting, doing data analytics for SMBs and Fortune 500 companies. The amount of time wasted on menial tasks was astounding. Things like cleaning data, generating custom reports, creating human workflows to solve shortcomings in third…

  Tools for Humans – Public Tracker for WorkflowsJan 2026 · turboops.io · ▲7

  Hello! I'm working on building out graph-based tools for humans! Our first offering is a public tracker view, similar to the tracker provided by pizza companies in the US! The goal is to enable companies to reduce status emails and build brand trust! TurboOps are built on "workflows" which are just DAGs. We have a lot more plan but are focused on makers right now! It's free to get started and to try it out, and build public graphs! I'd really appreciate your thoughts, impressions, and/or criticisms. Thank you! [email protected]

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
