So here is a case that I wanted to implement in n8n a few years ago and it required quite heavy JS blocks:

- I want to check some input - pick one of your 138 blocks

- I want to extract a list of items from that input

- I want to check which items did I encounter before <- that's the key bit

- Do something for the items that have not been encountered before; bonus point for detecting updated and deleted items

- Rinse and repeat

It could be a row added to a CSV file, a new file dropped into a Nextcloud folder, a list of issues pulled from a repo, or an RSS feed (Yahoo! Pipes, what a sweet memory).

How good is the support for such a case in Sim? And did it get better in n8n?
