I'll dare to say I like it!<p>N8n seems to have a pretty fine gui for configuring little pipelines, sort of alike node-red. If the author wanted to embellish & enhance what they have there's a variety of other connectors & processors they could easily snap into place. It's easy to glance at a pipeline and see what the general shape is. This high level world feels much more normative & clear than scratching together "simple" php scripts.<p>Ditto for sending data into nocodb. An Airtable spreadsheet/database like system, with a good gui, with form submissions being fed into a spreadsheet: it's again nicely high level. It integrates with other documents or reports, if you want. It's easy to access from the web. It's a very slick very user friendly solution that still brings a ton of power. Another huge win for a high level system.<p>I too had an initial WTF reaction, are you serious reaction. But it wasn't that hard to find some empathy when I tried. I didn't have to work that hard to appreciate what the post is going for, to envision what the actual usage/configuration looked like, and to see there is a pretty neat high level set of guis here that are used to program a very flexible small little pipeline. And I can see how each piece is extremely malleable by end users. That freedom to rework & reshape this system freely is really neat.<p>There may be good tailor made solutions that we can agree to dub as "simpler" for form handling, but the composability & flexibility of this end-user driven solution is super neat & super compelling to me. These tools are extremely generic & could be used for all manners of tasks, and that is enormously compelling, to good general systems that we can use to tackle all manners of tasks. This is a cool pick of tools to bring together.
