- dapids 5y agoNo, but thanks for the link.
- Mandatum 5y agoYes. If you’re a developer that’s done a fair amount of automation, Python and the like are easier for batch or timed tasks. Having said that, I still use n8n for running event based source stuff which might still feed into a script. I also use it when I want a GUI instead of working out the “best” library and no HTTP API exists that I export by relocating requests from my browser (I’m looking at you all those devs moving to WS). I just wish its main configuration/scripting language wasn’t JavaScript. If it was agnostic and I could drop-down to something else that would be great. The Docker and packaged Apps they provide are excellent starting points.
- kilroy123 5y agoI've used it a fair amount. Some cool features for sure. I love how you can copy and paste workflows from their docs / forum. For some reason I can never fully grok how data is moved around from node to node. (Or at least remember when I come back after many months) (e.g.: items[0].json.data) The problem I have with it, is just not enough integrations. That's really the secrete sauce behind zapier. They have _so many_ integrations with a million different services.
