Hi HN folks, I'm a co-creator of the Dapr CNCF project and co-founder of Diagrid. Today we announced a free-to-use web app that takes any form of workflow diagram (UML, BPMN, scribble in your favorite drawing tool or even on paper) and generates code that runs in any IDE and that can be deployed to Kubernetes and other container based systems, based on Dapr's durable execution workflow engine. This essentially allows you to run durable workflows in minutes and leaves out the guesswork for how to structure, code and optimize a code-first workflow app. I'm happy for you to give this a try and provide feedback!

Some feedback: show example input & output without requiring me to create an account.

Looks interesting, best of luck!

This. There's a few example diagrams but I need an account to see the output of those example diagrams? No thanks.

Even worse, you have to download a .zip containing the output.

I'm probably a bit too trusting, but holy hell does that still give a terrible first impression when we have in-browser solutions available to show code demos.
