Hello there, this is Taher. A developer from @vanila-io and a co-founder of @automatio-co.

Recently we got a surge of visits, mentions, emails, stars and pull requests from a lot of people and realized someone shared us in hacker news. You have our heartfelt gratitude of showing interest in wireflow.

This is a side project where we did not invest much time into.

The initial idea was created by @shtefcs many years ago and several developer put their time on this as a side project. That version got hunted before in producthunt while we were busy with other projects and we had to step in because a lot of problems started to appear with the exposure. Then we decided to make it open source.

Then on this version, @shtefcs put some time in the new landing page in hurry (hence those typing mistakes) and the new frontend was developed by @arifulbgt4 in short time (hence the structure problems).

I can confirm and am sorry that this version is incomplete, without any API and realtime collaboration. However this one is also started to getting a lot of exposure due to the value and potential it brings.

Currently we are busy with Automatio, a no-code web automation/scraping tool to help you extract data from web pages or create bots to replace manual repetitive work. So extra hands are what we need to move forward.

Moving forward:

We are looking forward to allocate a core team and maintainer for wireflow to further develop it according to the plan and idea, since we got our hands full right now with lots of work.

We are again thankful for the contribution, comments, ideas, stars and the discussion on the current version and it greatly motivates us to do something impactful.

Can I maintain Meteor-based wireflow, package it for Sandstorm and merge pull requests? I do have repo access already.

We are going to move away from meteor version, and will create another version with vanila js (maybe next.js), prisma/hasura as database entry. I will ping you about the roadmap and planning for the backend soon.

@entrptaher who do I speak to about Automatio? In light of where the system is, go to market strategy and raising grants / investment for it.

@NoWorries Glad, you asked. Wireflow is an open source side project, and it definitely needs some attention. If you have time and will to improve certain points of the app, then it's more than welcome. There is a lot of space for improvements.

Let me know if you have any questions!
