Hey HN,
I'm Webb, founder of Flowdrop. I tried to learn to code four times. Failed every time. But I still needed to automate stuff for my business.
So my cofounder John and I built Flowdrop. You literally just chat with it like you're texting a friend, and it builds your automation. No drag and drop. No nodes. No trying to figure out which webhook goes where.
Want to sync your Google Sheets with Slack? Just say "Hey, when someone adds a row to my sheet, send me a Slack message." Done.
We're live at flowdrop.com and have a free tier to try it out.
The big idea: if you can explain what you want in plain English, you should be able to build it. Period.
Most automation tools make you feel dumb when you can't figure them out. We think that's backwards. The tool should feel dumb if it can't understand YOU.
We just launched and would love your feedback. What workflows are eating up your time? What makes other automation tools so painful?
Drop a comment or try it out and let me know what breaks (or what you love).
