Built a small tool called FlowShift that takes a Node-RED, n8n, or Zapier export and gives you a visual diagram, plain-English documentation, and edge case warnings. If you need to migrate, it'll generate FastAPI, Express, or Spring Boot code as a ZIP.

Free at [flowshift.org](http://flowshift.org) — would genuinely appreciate any feedback if you give it a try.

I'd like to try this out, but if I'm being honest, this is your first post here and I have privacy concerns. How do you address that?

> Totally fair, and I'd ask the same thing. A few things on privacy specifically: your flow content is stored in your account only (row-level security, nothing shared across users), and it's sent to Anthropic's Claude API only to generate the analysis you request — it's not used to train any model. You can delete any flow from your dashboard at any time and it's permanently removed.

> If you'd rather not upload anything real, you can also just try it on a flow you don't care about, or use the sample/demo on the site to see the output before trusting it with anything real.

> And yeah — fair to flag that this is a new account. I built this myself and I'm just trying to get it in front of people who'd actually use it. Happy to answer anything else.
