We built Activepieces to replace Zapier + learnings from last post

1. activepieces

   1 34 14,678 10.0 TypeScript

   AI Agents & MCPs & AI Workflow Automation • (280+ MCP servers for AI agents) • AI Automation / AI Agent with MCPs • AI Workflows & AI Agents • MCPs for AI Agents

   

   Only minor thing I noticed from a quick browse of the code was that you're directly pulling in font files from Google. Not a massive issue for most people but it does cause implicit sharing of data with Google which can be a concern for folks in the open source & self hosted communities. Generally better to bring those kinds of resources into the project to be statically served with the project.

   What differentiates this from things like n8n, node red, and stackstorm? (which sort of occupy a zapier replacement, IoT automation, and infra automation niche, respectively)
