Show HN: Oomol – A local-first, code-first workflow automation engine

Hi HN,

We’ve been working on [OOMOL](https://oomol.com) for the past few years – a workflow automation platform built for developers.

Unlike Zapier or n8n, OOMOL runs locally in a containerized environment, supports full Python and Node.js (with third-party libraries), and gives you the same flexibility as writing real code. It’s like VS Code meets workflow automation.

Key points: - Local-first (no cloud lock-in) - Python and Node.js support (you can mix both!) - Pip/npm libraries supported out of the box - Fully visual with programmable nodes - Share & reuse flows as containers or subflows

We’re still early, and would love feedback from the HN community. Happy to answer anything!

Explain to me what tasks can be solved in the approach with flows? I used Node-Red in some automation processes. I managed to solve only simple problems that are easy to solve without AI. But how do you program in this style? What does the flow style look like, for example, a program to find the shortest solution of a sokoban or game 15?

PS. Usually, when I need to make all photos in the folder black and white, I use imagemagick.
