Workflow automation and collaborative document editing tools

I have been a daily HN reader and would like to use this as a starting point to show SimWorkflow so that the HN community can get to know SimWorkflow. This project has been the love child of myself for the past year or so. A bit of background: Previously, I worked as a consultant specializing in designing, implementing, and maintaining Business Process Management and Content Management Solutions. I was surprised at the effort required to implement such solutions; specifically, the time it took, the number of people involved, and the amount of custom code. I thought: What if we could make…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I have been a daily HN reader and would like to use this as a starting point to show SimWorkflow so that the HN community can get to know SimWorkflow. This project has been the love child of myself for the past year or so. A bit of background: Previously, I worked as a consultant specializing in designing, implementing, and maintaining Business Process Management and Content Management Solutions. I was surprised at the effort required to implement such solutions; specifically, the time it took, the number of people involved, and the amount of custom code. I thought: What if we could make this easier and make it work with HTTP APIs? So SimWorkflow was eventually born from it. Please feel free to ask any questions. Your feedback is extremely valued, so please let me know what you think! To get started, a new SimWorkflow account comes with an Issue Management solution. Thanks, Tai

    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…

    Patchwork – Open-Source AI Workflows for Dev Chores2024 · github.com · ▲5

    Hi HN, We are excited to share patchwork - an open-source CLI for dev chore automation that you can use with your LLM of choice. Dev Teams can orchestrate custom workflows (called ‘patchflows’) using a combination of reusable steps and prompt templates to fix vulnerabilities, upgrade breaking dependencies, generate documentation, and more. We built scanning tools in the past, and saw how overwhelmed developers get with their DevSecOps pipelines. LLMs have the potential to help - but there is a need for an 'outer-loop' solution that can be customized to accommodate the processes, priorities,…

    I built an AI powered alternative to Webflow and Framer2024 · instwebai.com · ▲6

    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…

    Coding Agents swarming your codebaseSep 2025 · infrastructureas.ai · ▲9

    I built this because I was tired of creating pull requests in 20 repositories just to change a single line of workflow job version. With Infra as AI, just mention the change. Agents work on all repos in parallel, read the docs, make a bunch of PRs and fill in the description. You can see the demo of the actual dashboard in the landing. Let me know your thoughts :) It means a lot to me!

    Graph-Based Editor for LLM Workflows2024 · github.com · ▲8

    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…
