Show HN: PackageFlow – Visual workflow automation for developers (Tauri/Rust)

2 points

6 months ago

Hi HN, I built PackageFlow to solve my own frustrations with switching between terminal, Git GUIs, and various scripts during development.

It's a desktop app that combines:

- Visual drag-and-drop workflow builder (like n8n but for local dev tasks) - Git operations with diff viewer, branch/stash management - Git worktree management with quick switcher - Monorepo support (Nx, Turborepo) with dependency graph - Security audit integration (npm audit, Snyk) - Built-in PTY terminal

Tech: Tauri 2 (Rust backend + React frontend), TypeScript, React Flow for the workflow editor.

macOS only for now. Install via Homebrew:

    brew tap runkids/tap && brew install --cask packageflow

I'd appreciate any feedback, especially on: 1. What workflows would be useful as built-in templates?

Happy to answer any questions about the implementation.
