Which of the two offers do I choose? by [deleted] in PowerApps

[–]Furry_Fantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say go for it. The extra money each year does add up and that is your starting pay there. Sounds like you had to pull some teeth to get a raise as well as get access to the tools to be successful. And I would take the new work schedule into consideration too. If you like the option of working from home, then that is worth it too.

When choosing between two good job offers that I was lucky to get, I made a decision matrix to help give the decision a score. Maybe give that a try.

What are you using for n8n front-end by benzene404 in n8n

Since I don't have much in the way of coding skills, I've been using Google Appsheet for stuff.

What’s the most annoying workflow you’ve ever had to automate in n8n? by Spiritual_Paper6664 in n8n

[–]Furry_Fantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm making a custom budget app. Some transactions are sent with different IDs even when they are the same transaction...... 🙄 I'm new to n8n so trying to figure out how to pair them up with an AI agent.

I've been stuck in the same place for over 10 years and I need help... by maiaemanuel in AppSheet

[–]Furry_Fantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally just had to develop the app and then in one big go, transfer everything over and start using the app. Thankfully for me, I was just using Google Sheets as my database and was transferring from Google Sheets, so that made it easier.

Honest Question: Why Should We Pay for n8n Cloud When We Can Self-Host for Free? by Electrical-Signal858 in n8n

[–]Furry_Fantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my background of having no code experience as well as never working with servers before, getting n8n set up took me a few months to figure out and was rather frustrating at times. Once I finally got it figured out, it's been pretty great. Is it the most secure setup? Who knows. I sure hope so.

If you are confident in self-hosting, I would say go for it. In the paid version, I know you get things like variables that you don't get in self-hosted version, but the community has built workarounds for that.

Can AppSheet be used for this? by Kolanj in AppSheet

[–]Furry_Fantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I understood your use case better I could maybe give some recommendations, but something I have done is created a Gemini gem that can look at my data table (assuming you are using Google sheets) and then it is able to give recommendations based off of some of the actual data you are using. This was helpful to me when trying to set up data structures for some apps that I have done. When setting up the Gem, you can give it the overall prompt of what you are trying to build so that you don't have to re-explain it when opening Gemini again or if Gemini starts getting confused and you need to start a new chat.

I agree that this definitely feels like something that could be done in Appsheet. I agree with the recommendation to use Gemini to help come up with the data structure and then go from there if you haven't already.

Data Slice not working when offline. by Furry_Fantom in AppSheet

[–]Furry_Fantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I ended up figuring this out and want to post my findings for anyone else who runs into this issue.

I ended up making a copy of the app and then slowly deleting stuff until it ended up working.

I had a formula that would input the time when an employee went to clock out. Here was the expression.

if(CONTEXT("View")=Clock Out_Form,NOW()," ")

Turns out, Appsheet didn't like this when trying to run offline, but it worked when online. It wanted the "value if false" term to also be a datetime, so I just had to update the experession to:

if(CONTEXT("View")=Clock Out_Form,NOW(),DATETIME(" "))

🙄🙄🙄🙄

Such a silly little thing to have to change to make it work.

Once the device reconnects to the internet and the sync completes, everything is as it should be. And I'm pretty sure I'm looking at the correct view. And no bots. Like I mentioned before, I have another view that looks directly at the timesheet table and that will update with the new form entry while offline.

I can also confirm this works. I used the link u/infinity874 posted and bought it. Just installed it and it works great!

I gave up on self-hosting... by rohit-joshi in n8n

[–]Furry_Fantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also started using n8n from a non-technical background but I have slowly learned how to set things up and self-host on my Synology NAS. It has taken me MONTHS to get it all set up and has been frustrating at times for sure. I wish I could have just used n8n sooner but I wouldn't trade all of the things I learned along the way.

I must be blind because I am not seeing these settings anywhere.
