Saturday Vibes: Automating My DevLog with n8n and Going Live

2 min read

What a Saturday! Decided to tackle something I've been putting off for weeks - automating my development diary workflow. You know how it is - you write these raw notes throughout the week but then they just sit there because turning them into actual blog posts feels like work.

So today I finally deployed n8n on Railway and built out a proper DevLog automation pipeline. The setup is pretty sweet:

  • Webhook triggers catch my raw diary entries
  • Claude API does the heavy lifting to polish the content
  • Everything gets auto-queued to the CW blog

No more manual copy-paste-edit cycles. Just pure automation bliss.

The best part? I also got the blog fully live at cwaffiliateinvestments.com/blog with 3 seed posts to kick things off. There's something satisfying about seeing your automation pipeline actually produce real content on a real site.

N8n on Railway has been rock solid so far. The deployment was surprisingly smooth - just connected the repo, set a few environment variables, and boom. The webhook endpoints are responding perfectly and the Claude integration is working like a charm.

Now I can focus on building instead of wrestling with content formatting. This is exactly the kind of meta-productivity win that makes a Saturday feel well spent.
