This tool looks very interesting. You might create a collection in your website showing different use cases all are using it for. Or do you already have it ?

I've been using n8n on my Synology (NAS) for some time now but being able to install it as a desktop application is what I was missing! Congratulation @janoberhauser for launching this version and please keep up the good work!

This is really dope and I like how its a native app. Doing this in Web doesn't always work that well.

@adam_romyn It always depends on the use case. For some, a native app you run locally is amazing, for others it is absolutely horrible. Exactly the same for the web. That is exactly the reason why we released n8n Desktop so people can choose the right tool for the job.

The cost of running a medical and healthcare facility is quite high when you consider the inventory, equipment, personnel and utilities that are part of such a facility.

This is very cool - if I wanted to extract PDF info from a folder as they're added automatically, how would I set this up? Start -> Read Binary File -> Read PDF (How do I not use a fixed end file, and get it finding each new file as it's added?

@oliver_kicks1 Thanks! You can use our "Local File Trigger" node (https://n8n.io/integrations/n8n-...). It can set it up to always start a workflow execution once a new PDF got added.

This is awesome! I'm sorry to ask a "dumb" question, but I suppose tasks get queued and executed when the computer is back running? I'm currently using Integromat but I'd love to give this a try, I just wanna make sure that any trigger when the computer's off will still be executed later Thanks!

@juandiegoferri No if the computer is off so is n8n and so nothing will or can get queued. In this case you either have to use our hosted version (https://www.n8n.cloud/) or install it on your own web server for free (https://docs.n8n.io/getting-star...).

?makers What are the main advantages of your product compared with Integromat? Anything you do much better than Integromat ? (besides native vs web)

@adsy_me made a few comparisons in my other comments on here. In short: - n8n’s take on automation is more intuitive for me. Great example is iteration is dead-simple (each node performs its step on each item of incoming data - like a HubSpot contact or Jira ticket). - Some powerful nodes that integromat lacks, like the merge node (great for 2way syncs; helps identify unique items between two systems and all manner of other complex comparison/ filtering) - extendablity: build custom nodes, or fork it and really customize anything. - Affordability: n8n is free (self-hosted, minus infra costs), or much cheaper than integromat for complex workflows (Integromat charges per operation, n8n.cloud only counts when your whole workflow runs - be it 1 step or 50 steps). With self-hosting, you also get to own your data.
