This Week's Highlights
  • Vendor ecosystem anxiety: Professional developers are signaling significant unease regarding platform shifts (like Webflow's 'Source'), fearing these updates may fundamentally change their career path and the value of their specialized niche skills.
  • External access barriers: Airtable power users are actively seeking alternatives due to rigid permission structures that make it difficult or prohibitively expensive to grant clients and vendors limited access to specific data.
  • Legacy modernization gaps: Manufacturing firms with non-standard workflows report that mainstream ERP solutions remain too expensive and rigid, while no-code alternatives are often perceived as a risky transition from reliable legacy systems like Microsoft Access.
  • Feature gaps in automation: There is a continued reliance on third-party bridge tools for basic workflow needs, particularly for mobile push notifications and real-time iOS UI updates, which current automation leaders fail to provide natively.

Top Pain Points

6 entries · Sep 7–13 2026
  1. 1

    Platform identity and career uncertainty

    Vendor Ecosystem×4
    I feel like a lot of people don’t know what this means for us yet. I want to talk to the og community here. The Webflow devs. The people who’ve made Webflow a part of their personality, career
  2. 2

    Legacy ERP migration difficulty

    Software Architecture×3
    We run a specialty manufacturing setup with a pretty weird workflow, and standard off-the-shelf ERPs like SAP or Dynamics are way too rigid (and expensive) for how we operate.
  3. 3

    Granular external permissions and seat pricing

    Pricing & Access Control×2
    The change is that clients and vendors now need access, and giving them seats in the workspace is not going to work.
  4. 4

    Inadequate native mobile notification support

    Workflow Capabilities×2
    This app allows Zapier workflows to send live push notifications to any platform (Web, iOS, Windows, Android, Mac) so you can be aware instantly of the results or steps of your Zapier flows.
  5. 5

    Lack of native PlantUML rendering

    Feature Parity×2
    Notion added native rendering for Mermaid diagrams a while back, type a code block, set the language to Mermaid, done. PlantUML never got the same treatment.
  6. 6

    Platform stability during high-volume bursts

    Reliability Issues×2
    About a month ago someone in the comments on my silent-failure post asked for three follow-ups... This is the third. The question was fair: a 10-event burst and hours of elevated rate.
