Congrats, looks interesting. For higher value items and furnitures, I currently have a spreadsheet with price, and screenshots of product specs. Very useful when time comes to sell them :)

Your app looks great, what's your tech stack/any design system you use?



Thanks Firat! Congrats on your show HN as well, looks slick :)


Hey HN, I’m Omar, one of the creators of Flowdash. We first shared Flowdash on HN last year when we were just getting started (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22476985).

Since then, we’ve gotten tons of feedback and have been impressed by the wide variety of workflows people have built on Flowdash. We originally expected to see a few common usage patterns emerge from early users, but were surprised by how different everyone's use case is. Despite being different, the common thread is having a queue of tasks that need to be moved by people through a pipeline. That motivated us to continue making the platform customizable enough for people to build their unique workflows.

Another big learning (obvious in hindsight?) was how hard it gets to maintain a complex workflow without a visual editor. It's not uncommon to see workflows with 10+ stages. We’ve been hard at work taking all the feedback, and I’m excited to share our latest iteration with HN.

While the product evolved, our thesis hasn't changed. We believe operations teams are critical to many companies, yet tend to be underserved when it comes to the tools they use. The choices are either hacking things through spreadsheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier, Slack, etc... Or investing a lot of time building and maintaining internal tools.

We created Flowdash specifically to offer the best of both worlds. You can build powerful workflows in minutes and without code, but they can be further customized through built-in blocks (i.e. widgets) and API integrations.

Here's a quick demo video where I build a basic content moderation workflow in a few minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAE8ePk0qa0

We also opened up sign-ups if you want to try it out. Excited to hear what you think!

Since then, we’ve gotten tons of feedback from customers and have been impressed by the kind of workflows people built on Flowdash. We’ve been hard at work taking all the feedback, and I’m both nervous and excited to share our latest iteration with HN.

Customers have described Flowdash in many ways: “Jira + Zapier”, “API-backed spreadsheets”, “Semi-automated workflows”, “Retool for async flows”, “human in the loop platform”, and even “Human-powered background jobs”. But since a picture is worth a thousand words, here’s a 5mn video I just recorded of me creating an approval workflow: https://app.tella.tv/story/ckhf7zbj7000009mnceo747nz

It’s the first time we open sign-ups and would love to hear your thoughts! :)

Thanks!


One major (and unexpected) issue I ran into with Thunderbird is font size. On my monitor, it's way too small to be usable.

The recommended fix appears to mess with the `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` configuration and even then, font is inconsistent when moving from external monitor to laptop screen.


Congrats on the Launch! My mom has been using Mighty Health for about a month now, and is very happy with it. She particularly likes the accountability via text message, and nutrition coaching.


So glad to hear your mom has been finding it valuable! Will pass that along to the team.



Some of those are close to what I was thinking might be good for a sequence capture - provide a way to make the start/end of a sequence and then the page generates a bunch of curl commands to grabs them perhaps. Once you have them locally, making a moving would be quite straightforward.


ISS-EOL website[0] provides videos (though the interface is quite... uncomfortable to say the least), and you can get a zipfile with all the images provided, JPEG+EXIF metadata and all. I've been helping a friend do exactly what you said for the last year or so[1], amongst other things.

Excellent. Thanks for heads up and I’ll take a look. Especially, thank you for That video. It’s truly spectacular - thank you for sharing.


Great service! All it took to find these less beautiful pictures of Germany was the rough location from google maps entered in the url:

It shows why Germans still burn coal in their houses. A lot of closeups of the surface mining of coal outside Cologne.


Umm, no. That brown coal is used for gaining electricity. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagebau_Inden


Yes, these do but there are many coal mines in Germany...


Wonderful.


My most recent spreadsheets are: Budget, Shared expenses, Catan Quarantine League, Metrics Dashboard, Talent List.

So a mix of personal finance, dashboards, and lists.


I manually track expenses in a spreadsheet. I'm using tillerhq.com to pull transactions to the spreadsheet automatically.
