I came to Make from n8n and I think the main motivation was the pricing and the UI design.
I think its quite cool and easy to use… but its not something that is going to be easy without learning and watching the tutorials.
I got the hang of creating the routes and different modules BUT found issues with some of the logic and modules.
The Eden module is very buggy. Its proved hard to get the generates text output, asked support who helped but the solution they gave would only work if i used the same provider each time. Today everytime i tried to get a text response it keeps replying with something about barack obama for some reason… when its supposed to response with an improved prompt.
Mapping arrays and collections. These I find the most stressful. I mean ive got over 20 years programming experience, worked with Java, JS, HTML, GML, PHP but trying to pull values that i need from some bundles is very tasking and time consuming.
Also I think setting variables needs to be expanded so we can programmatically set values (unless this is already there and ive missed it)… For example say I wanted to the set the value of a variable randomly from a list/array, in programming id use something like:
var 1 = choose(“text 1”, “text 2”, “text 3”)
but how can you do this in make without using 2-3 different modules, I even tried something like (which AI said would work)
{{first(shuffle(array(“one”; “two”; “three”)))}}
but i dont think array function is recognied, so can you programmatically define an array / collection to work with when setting a variable?
