Should we opensource workflows?

I think we should -- it was part of our original vision and helps solve the same set of problems. But we probably should first make significant changes -- mainly because there is a lot of random code in there that none of us understand.

Also while tree-view can definitely be helpful it probably shouldn't be the primary view since the raison d'être of simplekiq is enable you to think of your background code as a sequential flow. This view would be more orchestration, leveraging knowledge of orchestrations to flatten the tree based on orchestration callbacks, hiding jobs that aren't user-owned and leveraging orchestration "checkpoints" if we build those out. These two views can share some underlying abstractions but separating them also means you could use Simplekiq workflows without Orchestrations.
