ProcessMaker.IO is a workflow engine in the cloud. Need candid feedback

Our project is at: https://www.processmaker.io/ We built a high performance workflow engine in the cloud aimed for developers. It originally was intended as a BPMN focused engine but you can also create complex workflows programatically without any BPMN diagramming tools. Think of it as a platform that goes well beyond ITTT or Zapier. This platform means we can do services orchestration and serverless programming (using our script tasks which currently support LUA) as well as human enabled workflows (think of using forms and approvals, etc).

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Our project is at: https://www.processmaker.io/ We built a high performance workflow engine in the cloud aimed for developers. It originally was intended as a BPMN focused engine but you can also create complex workflows programatically without any BPMN diagramming tools. Think of it as a platform that goes well beyond ITTT or Zapier. This platform means we can do services orchestration and serverless programming (using our script tasks which currently support LUA) as well as human enabled workflows (think of using forms and approvals, etc). We have SDKs in most major languages and we're aiming specifically at developers as the target audience. This would be perfect for ISVs looking to embed complex workflows in their product but not have to build the workflow features themselves. The problem I'm seeing is that understanding workflow from the beginning is a hard concept. The on-boarding process for a developer to understand the value and to immediately get started is something we're trying to get over. We have various use case examples and video demos that show how you could use it, but I still don't feel comfortable yet with the 1st time experience. So I'm sharing in hopes that anyone can provide feedback/thoughts? Or even if you have questions on how things are done (which would help us with our messaging). Docs are updated and you can sign up and fire up a workflow engine right away to play with (it's free right now so we can get people playing with it). It's at www.processmaker.io and any suggestions/advice for improving the messaging on the website is also really appreciated. The project is in public Alpha right now, so if something isn't working right, please bring it up so I can have the team fix it up! Thanks all.
