Cosa fa Windmill

Windmill is an open-source developer platform that turns scripts into workflows, internal tools, and full-stack apps. Write scripts in Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, Rust, SQL - Windmill auto-generates UIs from their parameters, handles dependencies, credentials, permissions, and scheduling so you focus on business logic, not infra. Open-source alternative to Airflow, Temporal, Retool and n8n. Chain scripts into flows with branching, parallelism, retries. Build dashboards with the app builder. Trigger via cron, webhook, or UI. All-in-one runtime, editor, secret manager, and OAuth platform - enterprise-ready out of the box. Stack: Rust / TypeScript + Svelte / PostgreSQL. Self-hostable, easy to deploy, built for performance and DX.

Open-source platform to turn scripts into internal apps

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build an open-source developer platform that turns scripts written in languages like Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, Rust, and SQL into internal tools and workflows with autogenerated UIs. Our platform handles dependencies, credentials, permissions, scheduling, and provides branching and retries, so developers focus on business logic instead of infrastructure. It's a self-hostable alternative to tools like Airflow or Retool with a runtime, editor, secret manager, and OAuth built in.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Paris, Île-de-France, France. After YC, we plan to keep the company based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Paris because it's where we live and where the core team is. We can recruit locally and work remotely but want to maintain our base here to keep strong focus and momentum.
