I never expected an open-source app to beat IFTTT and Zapier — but this one did

I’ve used more automation platforms than the average person — IFTTT (If This Then That), Zapier, Make, n8n — plus a few obscure ones that never went past beta. What every one of them did was box me into templates. This throttled my workflow and failed to show the real strength of premium tiers. I settled for living within their limits, even when it meant holding back my ideas.
