Great writeup, especially with all the workflow canvas screenshots. Makes me want to try out Node-RED. From a few weeks ago on HN: https://github.com/pipes-di

Great writeup, especially with all the workflow canvas screenshots. Makes me want to try out Node-RED. From a few weeks ago on HN: https://github.com/pipes-digital/pipes https://github.com/pipes-digital/pipes “pipes.digital is a spiritual successor to Yahoo Pipes, a graphical interface to get data from the web and to manipulate it by connecting block” These look like great tools. I think calling these low-code / no-code frameworks is however quite misleading though, because there is actually code, it’s just inside the component! Code still has to be written. One thing that these low-code / no-code frameworks do well is provide a structure that you can easily show visually. This is particularity useful when you have to work with clients that aren’t that technical. It makes creating specifications much easier, which can be reviewed and revised before embarking on a big development effort.
