Our project is at: https://www.processmaker.io/

We built a high performance workflow engine in the cloud aimed for developers. It originally was intended as a BPMN focused engine but you can also create complex workflows programatically without any BPMN diagramming tools. Think of it as a platform that goes well beyond ITTT or Zapier. This platform means we can do services orchestration and serverless programming (using our script tasks which currently support LUA) as well as human enabled workflows (think of using forms and approvals, etc). We have SDKs in most major languages and we're aiming specifically at developers as the target audience. This would be perfect for ISVs looking to embed complex workflows in their product but not have to build the workflow features themselves.

The problem I'm seeing is that understanding workflow from the beginning is a hard concept. The on-boarding process for a developer to understand the value and to immediately get started is something we're trying to get over. We have various use case examples and video demos that show how you could use it, but I still don't feel comfortable yet with the 1st time experience.

So I'm sharing in hopes that anyone can provide feedback/thoughts? Or even if you have questions on how things are done (which would help us with our messaging). Docs are updated and you can sign up and fire up a workflow engine right away to play with (it's free right now so we can get people playing with it). It's at www.processmaker.io and any suggestions/advice for improving the messaging on the website is also really appreciated.

The project is in public Alpha right now, so if something isn't working right, please bring it up so I can have the team fix it up!

Thanks all.

A few months ago, I gave a talk at a local LaunchUp event in Las Vegas. The format was meant to be about my startup; however, I deviated and instead gave a talk about all the hurdles I encountered and how you need to be prepared if you intend to tackle the joy and disaster of entrepreneurship.

I didn't realize it at the time that my friend recorded the talk. So I decided to upload it and see if it would be of value to anyone.

The video link is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0ppRm4lUiM

I'd really appreciate any feedback, thoughts or discussions here or in the video comments.

Thanks!

It's a side hobby I've been working on and I wanted to share it with everyone. urshoutbox is instant on-demand chat rooms(shoutboxes) that you can create and then blast it out to your social networks and start chatting with your friends and family.

The idea is people can get in touch with their audiences, friends, families and meet new people while being on different social networks.

It works on desktop as well as mobile/tablet devices just fine.

I created a shoutbox for Hacker News for everyone here to hop in and try. Share it out with everyone, see how many people can get in there. Let's load test this sucker.

If you want your own shoutbox, go to http://www.urshoutbox.com/ and simply give it a name. Then your chat room is ready to share with all.

I'd love suggestions/comments/feedback. Thanks everyone!
