Curious if you tried us, Activepieces. We have different ways of sharing "pieces" including merging them to our repo, uploading them to an npm registry or uploading them as private…

Ash here, founder of Activepieces (open source automation). 2 years ago, we launched Activepieces as the open source Zapier ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34723989 ). Ever …

we're not willing to do anything against the ToS, I haven't checked them yet and we'll do things in compliance with policies, I'm just posting a problem and looking for a valid cre…

we've been struggling with verifying our business on Meta and tried many ways to get around it with no success, do you think you can help with it? can you reach out to founders@act…

congrats on the launch and on the MIT license, this looks interesting. what's the difference between tillywork and plane.so?

Thank you for the mention. Founder of Activepieces here ready to help/support with whatever needed - we hang out on Discord all the time.

Creator of Activepieces here; we do our best to design for the simplest user so we keep our UX as straightforward and non-technical as possible. Our license is very permissive (MIT…

We make money out of our cloud version and enterprise edition, I mentioned it in my original post but here is our original plans page on the website: https://www.activepieces.com/p…

As a founder of a specific type of the Zapier alternatives, the open source category, this is the thought process we had at Activepieces: We used Zapier for a long period of time a…

Thanks! I'll look into it and see if there is something that can be equally useful and ethical to do :)

Thanks for sharing, we're happy to see other open source automation tools! The projects are unrelated but you can find similarities between how OSS projects are generally structure…

Thanks for opening the issue on GitHun, we'll take it from there!

I actually forgot to mention a very important differentiator. If you self-host N8n and you'd like to connect say your Asana or Gmail account, you have to own your own app or get an…

We think our UX is simpler for users who don't wish to get involved in too much technical understanding. We heard from many users that N8n was a bit too technical to them. Thank yo…

Some of our users ship 1-click in-app integrations to their users with us, we haven't worked on cases where the whole builder is embedded. Feel free to open an issue about it and w…

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and welcome them. We learn as we go and your comments are inspiring, thank you.

Maybe you can find them reusable for your project from our codebase. We're an Angular project on the frontend.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, we are seeing this pattern indeed. I agree that it doesn't guarantee success, we're inspired by open source apps that compete in being better soft…

Yes, this! Trigger.dev lives in your code, we offer a visual flow builder, more like Zapier.

Thanks!

We saw some evidence that companies will prefer to work with the original developers for their own product's hosting, but I'll keep working on improving my understanding to the ope…

Thank you-there is huge similarity between how we think and your comment! How do you define long tail? Fewer users?

I agree that we should show some display of how our features compare to existing apps in the market. Thank you for the cost comparison, I'd like to highlight that some apps price o…
