https://github.com/khimaros/flow if you're looking for a more streamlined and minimalist alternative to n8n. it also has CLI integration with piped input and output. user nodes can be written in Typescript, Python, and Rhai in addition to fully declarative nodes. UX it's more similar to ComfyUI
I figured n8n was another annoying acronym I didn’t know. So after clicking to the article, and then the repo, and then scanning the repo doc, I guess it’s not an acronym after all?
> While looking for a good name for the project with a free domain, Jan quickly realized that all the good ones he could think of were already taken. So, in the end, he chose nodemation. 'node-' in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses Node.js and '-mation' for 'automation' which is what the project is supposed to help with. However, he did not like how long the name was and could not imagine writing something that long every time in the CLI. That is when he ended up on 'n8n'.
