I see n8n everywhere and while I love automation I can’t think of a use case, that couldn’t be realized in Bash instead.

So I’m wondering, if you use n8n what are you using it for?

    Pull weather data and get notified if it is going to rain

    That’s a pretty respectful list you have there. I am working on something that will pull in weather data and forecast maps, but haven’t completed the flow yet.

      I wanted to do the same for One Punch Man but ended writing a bash script for it instead. File access and variables was the biggest hurdle (but both are solvable).

      Knowing if it is going to rain in the next hour is nice because I take the bike to work. I like to know which clothes to take with me.
