Ask HN: Remember N8n? Anyone?

Wonder what happened to all their hype and agentic connector workflow?

Did Claude/GPT ate that market for good?

No, lots of job postings still ask for them

haven't seen a lot - which was the one you saw last?

n8n - nodemation, a workflow automation platform and the Berlin company, n8n GmbH, that develops it.

I'm still using it just fine. I'm not sure how well the cloud business is doing, though. It's great as open source.

Dito. Running on my mac mini: Local LLM and n8n

I remember 38400, 8, n, 1

38400 bits per second, 8 bits per character, no parity, 1 stop bit

Yes I use it for a few workflows for a client. Been using their hosted version since it was dirt cheap (and grandfathered in to that pricing). It’s been very reliable, I would continue to use it for workflow automations now as it’s simpler to reason with than LLM generated spaghetti code.

I don't think Vibecode can completely replace workflow. For example, Langgraph still need wrting workflow in its software. To conclude, AI cannot absolutely follow my plan, but a workflow can.
