Just curious what people are using n8n for.

I just finished setting up a workflow that sends me a Telegram message every night about photography opportunities for the next day. It puts together weather data, POIs (which I defined for my location), sun/moon position, milky way visibility, cloud cover, etc. The message then simply tells me if it's worth it going out in the morning.

Since the dawn of LLMs it's virtually impossible to scrape web content. Headless browsers have become basically useless. I actually have to automate keyboard inputs to simulate the navigation. I could maybe try to write the javascript cache to file but honestly it's just faster that way.
