I'm finally in Berlin and there are many interesting to meet here! I started Jan Oberhauser who created the no-code automation software n8n. A very promising no-code tool that is also open source, which is very rare in our space, unfortunately. So we definitely talked more about that, how Jan started n8n and why. He also shares with me some insights about the local scene and Berlin in general.
