A TikTok video about n8n. That's where this started. Wanted to "just play around with it for a bit." Famous last words. A few weeks later: Donau2Space.de.
Donau2Space is a space and tech blog from the Passau region. What makes it unusual: 80 n8n workflows run the whole thing. It's a fully AI-driven content machine — fetching sources, writing articles, enriching with data, publishing. I am the human who designs what the machine does. I work with the AI, not against it, and not through it.
In building Donau2Space, I kept needing WordPress plugins that didn't exist quite the way I needed them. So I built them. BreznGEO started as one of those internal tools. Then Claude Code came into the workflow as a co-pilot. Then I thought: this is actually good enough to share. Then I built it properly.
And now there are more ideas in the drawer. Plugins that work with n8n. Plugins that go deeper with AI. Some involving OpenClaw. Some that solve problems I haven't fully named yet. But all starting from the same question: would I actually use this myself?

I've been blogging long enough to know what it feels like when a plugin crashes your site. That "oh no" moment at 11pm when you refresh and get a white screen. I've been there. I will never be the reason someone else has that moment.
Every plugin here runs on my own sites first. On Donau2Space.de. On test installs. In real conditions. If I wouldn't use it, I don't ship it. That's the whole testing philosophy, and it's served me well.
Nothing goes from idea to "download it now" in a week. There's a testing phase. Then another testing phase. Then probably one more. Because I know what's at stake when someone installs a plugin on a live site they care about.
Why GPL? Why free? Because I use plenty of paid plugins and think premium is fine — the developers deserve to eat. But these plugins are mine, built for my own use, and shared because they should exist. The business model is: they're free. That's the model.
No "Pro" version waiting in the wings. No paywall unlock. No subscription that quietly doubles in price. If something costs money to run (like AI API calls), you bring your own key — I don't want to be in the middle of that.
One more thing about AI: The AI doesn't have ideas. It executes. 80 n8n workflows didn't write themselves — I designed every single one of them. Claude Code doesn't architect the plugins — I do. The AI makes me faster and catches things I'd miss. But the thinking? Still the human in the truck cab at 6am with a coffee and a problem to solve.
