       | 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:

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