https://github.com/khimaros/flow if you're looking for a more streamlined and minimalist alternative to n8n. it also has CLI integration with piped input and output. user nodes can be written in Typescript, Python, and Rhai in addition to fully declarative nodes. UX it's more similar to ComfyUI
And the article is nice to read or it isn’t. Most people here probably aren’t affected and only read reports like that because they find it interesting and entertaining.
"This vulnerability is not meaningful to most HN readers" is a good argument for not upvoting it. "The one detailed description of a new, valid, meaningful vulnerability is AI slop by its discoverers" is not. I don't care about n8n either and didn't upvote this story. But new vulnerability discoveries are not like "Show HN"; their newsworthiness or interestingness extends beyond the writeup or the effort taken to find it.
I disagree. Surely the newsworthiness of vulnerability writeup is a mix of the relevance and article quality.
You could submit a vulnerability report about an internal tool no HN user could ever be affected by and people could find it really interesting, and you could submit an article about a vulnerability that’s really bad and only people that really care about the affected project would be interested.

It's possible to make a not-especially-material vulnerability HN-worthy by writing it up exceptionally well. A lot of cryptographic vulnerabilities are exactly like that! But a meaningful vulnerability is probably interesting no matter how well it's written up.
I don't care about this specific vulnerability, I just care about the knee-jerk instinct to dismiss vulnerabilities because they have AI writeups. I don't like AI writeups either, but vulnerabilities are not exactly like other stories.
