Another version of this is called "OctoBlu": https://octoblu.github.io/ https://octoblu.github.io/ https://github.com/octoblu https://github.com/octoblu What I recall of that project: I first came across the project at a meeting in Mesa or Tempe, AZ where they first started. This was sometime in 2013, I recall going to the TechShop pre-open-house, and also a Desert Code Camp around the same time period. Chris Matthieu was the leader behind the whole thing, from what I recall. At that time, it was called "SkyNet" (if you scroll to the bottom of their page they mention that - but originally it was only called SkyNet - OctoBlu came later; Chris always mentioned the name change as being better for marketing). SkyNet/OctoBlu was pretty advanced by this time, so I think it had been in development prior to this for a while. I don't recall when Node-Red first came out, though the GitHub repo has the first release (0.2.0) in October 2013. OctoBlu/Skynet were later acquired by Citrix: https://thenewstack.io/citrix-acquires-octoblu-the-drone-networking-company-formerly-known-as-skynet/ https://thenewstack.io/citrix-acquires-octoblu-the-drone-net... ...but then sometime later that didn't work out and Citrix dropped them, and Chris open-sourced everything. Actually, it had been pretty much open source prior to that; in fact almost everything. What wasn't open source was the flow/node editor. Even now, it's difficult to find in the various repos, but if you dig, it is there. I always liked the project because of how well it worked, how easy it was to create a flow diagram/system using the various node types available (there were a ton of them that I recall), plus how relatively easy it was to create new nodes (all in javascript/nodejs, that I recall). It's too bad that Citrix didn't keep them around, but I am glad that Chris chose to open source everything for others to play with.
