Nyno is an open-source multi-language workflow engine and language that lets you build, extend, and connect automation in the languages you already know — Python, PHP, JavaScript, and Ruby.

Each programming language runs in its own high-performance worker engine. Command-steps can be called in human-readable YAML Workflows (.nyno files).

feedback: i'm trying to understand the highlevel flow/usage but still a bit confused.

ideas:

1) maybe add a .yml example to the readme under the /test_nyno screenshot so i know how you configured that workflow

2) what are ways to trigger a workflow? just tcp?

3) the example runs "bestjsserver" which looks like it runs workflows? are some workflows auto running? that just logs from tcp commands you manually running in other terminal? a bit confused what's going on here

Thanks!

I thought n8n was open source though, can't you self host it? And it runs Python and Javascript nodes.
