n8n is also great about this. It retains the visual “easy mode” environment but lets you drop in a JavaScript node whenever you need to do something more complex


I found the JavaScript nodes to be quite annoying. Specifically -

1. I want a proper IDE

2. Proper typing so the feedback cycle is faster.

3. Being able to use external packages

4. Being able to quickly test my custom node across old runs.

Their JavaScript nodes take me an absurd amount of time to get right. And I've needed to use them far more often than I would like.


Wow, I’m never gonna try to build a tool for developers


All of the list and they also want to pay you $0. $20 sounds like a robbery. Meanwhile it costs 20 minutes of a freelance time.. for the whole product.
