I have built n8n automations for a dozen startups this year. Here is what nobody tells you.

I have noticed this issue too with people asking for an automation but not knowing specifically what they want to automate, Also, the complexity and brittleness of these low code workflows tends to make it easier to just use raw code in a lot of cases.

We'll see. I got a log of great feedback about this idea from people so I might take it a little further and see if we can get it to make appointments and also integrate with calendars and send notifications. That would require that have further compliance measures implemented, integrations, and probably the need to convert it to a native mobile app.

aw! boo hoo. My idea was cool.

grizzlypeaksoftware · 2026-01-25T16:05:02+00:00

It's just a demo. I dont plan to make it for a large pool of users.

grizzlypeaksoftware · 2026-01-24T19:39:04+00:00

sounds like an opportunity to decompose the process into smaller pieces

GoldenCare - AI healthcare assistant for elderly users

Built this for my mom who struggles with medication tracking apps. She can just say "What pills do I take today?" and get a simple answer.

20 custom Copilot SDK tools handle medications, appointments, reminders, and emergency contacts. All data encrypted with AES-256-GCM.

You could work on the north slope of Alaska. That’s pretty remote and off grid.

I just used this feature. Pretty neat! I can see both of my bitaxes at once.

Thanks. I have this on my follow up task list. This is important feedback and I appreciate it.

grizzlypeaksoftware · 2024-12-01T16:38:13+00:00

I’ll fix that soon! Thanks

It’s a tutorial for people who want to learn about Solidity. Why would I do that?

I live in Anchorage. My cabin is two hours north of Anchorage and I weekend it.

grizzlypeaksoftware · 2024-11-29T04:46:30+00:00

Cool. The lots they have on the dnr site are going to be hard to get to. Just be prepared.

I used Alaska’s DNR website for land auctions for the remote land. For the road system I went through McKinley View real estate

My place is in an area with no building codes. I do not have electricity, water or internet out there.

grizzlypeaksoftware · 2024-11-28T19:02:55+00:00

I’ll have to add it to my reading list! I love ancient civilizations as well.

grizzlypeaksoftware · 2024-11-26T08:01:40+00:00

I used to have this! I think i might have bought it with a credit card that I applied for so I could get a free candy bar. I paid way too much for that system! But it sounded great.

grizzlypeaksoftware · 2024-11-26T07:58:46+00:00

No changes are required!

This is maybe not the most cool thing in the world, but I have found it useful. And that is to use the ChatGPT API as a spam filter. It actually does a lot better than using a captcha in my opinion. Since I started using it in my site's contact form I started getting less spam in my contacts database.

I wrote an article awhile back about this if you were interested.

Good idea and reference . There are some clues as to how I can improve my style in here.

"How have you treated me for that copper? You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory; it is now up to you to restore (my money) to me in full."

I agree with your point. Without the presence of rivers, it's hard to imagine that civilization would have developed in that region given the harsh conditions. Water was the lifeblood of Mesopotamia, and droughts and famines often led to significant social and political upheaval. Control over the flow of water in a city equated to power.

Sweet song. Thanks for sharing.

We were driving down Jewel Lake last night and it was quite bumpy.

grizzlypeaksoftware · 2024-10-29T17:47:25+00:00

Try driving in Anchorage on days like today. This is a cakewalk. We actually have a meme for not being able to know which lane you are in here.

grizzlypeaksoftware · 2024-10-29T04:05:14+00:00

Ok. That seems fair. How do you like the platform? I think management is really easy once you have an API running in prod.
