I build what you see • 9h
𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗴𝗼 🚀 For the longest time, I dismissed no-code tools like n8n and Make. My thought process was simple: “𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢 𝘯𝘰-𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧? 𝘊𝘰𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭... 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵?” That mindset held me back more than I realised. Last month, I finally gave n8n a real try - and what happened honestly surprised me. I ended up building 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟭 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿. 🤯 And it wasn’t because I suddenly became more productive. It was because: • Every hobby project eventually starts feeling like work. • Adding new features becomes friction-heavy. • Enthusiasm slowly fades. • And the project dies. With n8n, that cycle broke. I pay $𝟲/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 for my server. I use 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 as my database. Webhooks + webhook responders act as my API layer. And I keep a single repo (𝗻𝟴𝗻-𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗹𝘀) - a small Hono server with MongoDB - for anything that needs logic beyond what n8n can do. This combo lets me move unbelievably fast. ⚡ And something clicked for me: 👉 𝗔𝗻 𝗠𝗩𝗣 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁. 𝗜𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 - 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹. To get there, you need iteration. And to iterate fast, you need to remove friction. For me, n8n 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. Today, I genuinely feel more productive, more creative, and more excited about building things than ever before. Sometimes, overcoming developer ego unlocks the next level. 🚀💡

I love n8n and creating automation for n8n However creating workflow dragging dropping and writing code in between can be time consuming So recently I have discovered Quik8n It is like cursor for n8n You have to give prompt and the model will
