Starting a New Side Project: Yet Another Workflow Tool
- Clojure is a multi-purpose language design to build solid software which is ideal for building robust API integrations, making it perfect for developing workflow automation tools.
- There are plenty of workflow automation tools like Zapier, but most often reliability, observability, and missing collaboration features are a major concern for users.
- To overcome these issues, author is building a workflow automation tool designed for small and medium-sized businesses that offers reliability, observability, and collaboration features.
- The tool will provide users with clear visibility into the state of every workflow and support on-demand pricing where users can pay for what they use, when they use it.
- Future integrations include email, AWS APIs, tools for deployment, Notion, Slack, human interaction workflows, and Google Workspace.
- The author intends to add LLM support, which is a huge market and the combined complexity of managing LLMs could help users manage their LLM integrations more efficiently.
- Marketing and sales are the author's weakest area, and finding the first users will be tricky.
- It is possible that the workflow automation market may not take off as expected, but author believes that by building this project, he will learn new things and grow regardless of the outcome.
