Oh, how I envy you. OOTS has been a part of my life for so long. You will laugh, cry, and be amazed all the time. Enjoy the ride.
The only one I think is kind of close but on a whole different scale is girl genius! The artwork is top notch and the story is amazing. It's sometimes a bit too slow but still holds up after 15+ books.
This is my Bowie saying hello to yours!
I'm a program manager, have some small coding experience.
N8n is like Legos of API access you can generate tons of integrations that would have otherwise been imposible with just a few hours of work. We have an issue where people don't complete their slack profiles. Using n8n I made an integration between our HR software and slack so that it automatically populates most fields without having to bug people.
And after that, it runs a check for what manual thing they are missing and sends them a message.
You put an http block, behind a filter block, behind a slack blog and it handles everything for you.
Would recommend you give it a try, I have it running on the work instance but I also have a local one running in my raspberry that I plan to use to fool around.
