NextFlow

A visual workflow builder for LLM and media pipelines with a proper canvas UI, node execution system, persistence, and Trigger.dev-backed runs. It was alive in development, just never completed as a production product.

What it is

Krea-style AI workflow builder that worked in dev and even had a live preview, but I got sick while building it and never took it through to real production.

Problem

Wanted a Krea-style workflow builder for chaining LLM and media steps inside one visual system.

Outcome

The dev build proved the idea and a lot of the plumbing worked, but getting sick broke momentum and the project never made the jump from working dev system to finished production app.

Stack

Next.js 16React FlowTrigger.devClerk

Failure notes

What was attempted

A Krea-style AI workflow builder with a visual canvas, multiple node types, persistence, and Trigger.dev execution.

Why it failed

It worked in development, but I got sick while building it and never came back to push it through the final production stretch.

What was learned

A working dev build still dies if momentum disappears before the boring production finish line.
