Workflow is really cool. It's reminiscent of IFTTT in that it lets you tie together apis from apps in a way that tends to be reserved for developers. There are two subtle features that could be really powerful. The first is the ability to share a workflow with someone else. Hopefully this means that over time, you won't have to create your own workflow, but just customize it to your exact needs. The second is that the workflows don't have to be triggered from within the app. You can turn workflows into action extensions (which means they can be triggered by actions within another app), and you can add them to your homescreen. Macro-fying inter-app actions, and making them available exactly where and when you need them, can create some pretty interesting interactions. Most of the limitations I've found are functions of the apps themselves not making certain fields available. For example, I'd love to create a workflow that pulls the contact from my next meeting and opens up that person's profile in LinkedIn. However, the contacts app doesn't make that particular field (name of the person in the meeting) available. I think this will change over time as developers increasingly see the value of deep linking / inter-app api's. In the short term, I'd love to see more app integrations. For example, when @StevenTheApp recognizes that I'm home, I'd like to trigger the workflow that opens @Spotify and puts on my "I'm at home" playlist, which I'll then stream to my AppleTV. However, neither the Steven app, nor Spotify currently have workflows available. @arix is this a function of Steven & Spotify not having deeplink apis, or does Workflow just manually have to add them? Very curious to see what people come up with.

Congrats, @arix and team. Young makers like yourself impress me. :) Where'd this idea come from? P.S. we recorded a Product Hunt Radio episode with Ari a few months back. Listen here.

Love it, Ari and Conrad. @arix, any reason you chose "paid" instead of "free + in-app purchases." There's been a huge trend toward the freemium model. A lot of apps (like Instapaper where I worked this summer) have transitioned to being freemium. Besides the obvious revenue motive, do you think paid Workflow will be more successful than a freemium workflow? Curious on your thoughts with this.

Dude I love this! Literally so excited right now. What made you think of the Uber Integration! I'm going to use that SO SO SO much!

Whoah, bought in an instant! Great app! One thing I would ask for, is making gifs from videos. Sometime I wanna share a video but a gif format would be more appropriate for sharing. Is there a way to turn the "make a gif" action to take snapshots of a provided video?

What does an app developer need to do to make sure they can be used by Workflow? Is it just a matter of making certain things open?

I just created a simple workflow for accessing the most recent screenshot and emailing it to myself. I do this a lot when I'm checking out other products and I want to capture something. I wish it would automatically email the screenshot to me as soon as I take it, but this saves me a few steps which is nice.

So so so happy for @arix @conradev @nickfrey @vral -- this has been in the works for a long time and it's great to see it finally out. I second @MattHartman on the potential of workflow sharing. //Edit--@arix @conradev, any way to access workflow gallery via web? That could be a good marketing tool if so, linked from main workflow site?

Congratulations @arix, on winning the Apple Design Award. Added to my collection "Apple Design Award Winners " http://www.producthunt.com/@divj...

Congrats on the launch! Awesome to see it come to life after I first posted it on PH, a long time ago. (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...)

Less than a year ago, @arix, @conradev, @nickfrey, and @vral built the first version of workflow at MHacks and won first place. The hackathon was just the start. They dropped out to continue building Workflow and now it's the top of the paid app store. Crazy to see the founders execute on their vision so swiftly. If I was an investor, I'd throw all my money at this team right now before it's too late.

@conradev, @nickfrey, @vral, and I built Workflow because we wanted a better way to get things done on our iOS devices. We have a long way to go, but we're so excited to release the first version of the app to the world today. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

@arix Really great to see fellow young entrepreneurs make an amazing product. Just downloaded and I'm blown away. :)

Just made a workflow to read me a recent post from my favorite blog 😄 https://workflow.is/workflows/e1...

Oh man, just downloaded it and it had a workflow in it i've been wanting to do something with (create app) for a while: Share ETA. This is awesome, thanks.

I absolutely love this app. I've been wanting something like this for some time and it's solved a number of challenges already.

Have been following/looking forward to this for a while now. Awesome team and product. Congrats on the launch!

Congratulations on your acquisition! Just downloaded Workflow to try it out. It's hilarious that Apply acquired a company whose founder created one of the original jailbreak tools for iPhone https://seelio.com/w/87b/ijailbr... (thanks for that btw, definitely had my iPhone 4 jailbroken using your iJailbreak)

@arix this is great, this was made at MHacks right?
