This looks great, congrats on the launch! I am interested in a platform that bundles many pre-built integrations to various services that I could wire up through code and execute on my customers' behalf. Essentially, a way for me to present my customers with a plethora of integrations out of the box without having to build them all myself. This seems like it's moving in that direction and I saw another comment where…

Re: Show HN: We built a developer-first open-source Zapier alternative
#92I was recently looking for a simpler alternative to Temporal ( https://temporal.io/ ) so this could be ideal. If you could add instructions for self-hosting it (_sounds_ like you just need an Express server, but I would guess some backend persistent store/database/queue too) that would be great. The Webhook catalog only lists Github: I think integrating with Stripe would be neat. Like, when someone pays an invoice, S…

#93i think an open source zapier alternative would be a desktop app that had a nice UI, and synthesized terraform/FaaS code/API gateway-equivalent stuff behind the scenes and then ran it against my preferred cloud provider account. not this, as convenient for some as it may be.

#94This is fascinating. It checks a lot of my boxes. I was recently looking at ActionsFlow [0] which is similar but runs on GitHub Actions. My thoughts - 1. I don't see proper secret storage being handled. You typically don't want your API keys in your code. What would you recommend instead? 2. "OAuth" based secrets. Many integrations require giving access to an App via OAuth, which involves a flow. I think that's being…

#95I forgot to mention in the original post we've built a bunch of example workflows here: https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev-examples

#96Earlier quoted context omitted.
Zapier's UI is a hot mess. If you breathe on a zap it turns off. Default names for zaps are "Untitled Zap". Pricing is very high for any sort of serious traffic. The webapp runs very slow. But most important, no one knows how to say "Zapier". Is it ZAHpier or ZAYpier?
Rhymes with happier.

#97How does this compare to Pipedream and Windmill, both of which are also open-source?

#98Please make curl example on how to send custom event , instead of using nodejs sdk ?
With SDK examples you have to set up a code project, install the SDK, add some boilerplate code, make the API call, and figure out out to display/use the output. Ugh.
With curl examples you can run the example with no set up, just a little customization. You just run a single command. Easy-peasy.

#99For people who are building durable workflows. You should definitely checkout temporal [1]. It is production ready, you can implement pretty much same using the original SDK of the underline services. [1] https://temporal.io/
Their pricing model is much preferred: https://temporal.io/cloud i.e. pay for what resources you use instead of how many users you have. This is how we pay for AWS/GCP/Azure. I think a lot of dev SaaS could / should go this way.
