Considering that another open source alternative [0][1] was posted just a few days ago, how does this compare?

And Automatisch a few days before that. In September, CRDT databases were all the rage. This month, it's no-code workflow tools. I guess it makes sense that once someone launches, the rest want to follow quickly.

I believe trigger is more focused on devs while this is more focused on others
Yes, this! Trigger.dev lives in your code, we offer a visual flow builder, more like Zapier.
If someone needs something between zapier and trigger, check out windmill.dev. been using it for a few days. And I'm really impressed. I think Activepieces is targeting the same user as zapier. Trigger is targeting developers. Windmill seems to be able to give github sync and + you start of with writing code not in the GUI. And then you add a GUI on top of the script or connect scripts together into workflows. As a developer i found it amazing. But it's for people who can ( ow would like to) program. I think they found some kind of magical middle ground. (No affiliation, just a happy user.)

As a zapier alternativ this looks great. Congratulations with the launch and good luck. A lot of things is happening in this space now.
