Node-RED is one of the coolest pieces of software I've ever used. It's so fun to build with and really powerful-- it's truly a secret weapon. It's included I believe by default on most raspberry pi's too. Some of the main contributors (Nick O'Leary & others) of the project evidently are cooking something up on top of Node-RED: https://flowforge.com/ https://flowforge.com/

For more context on FlowForge see https://flowforge.com/blog/first-deploy/ https://flowforge.com/blog/first-deploy/ I'm the investor behind it and right now we plan something open core, a business model similar to GitLab.

  Looking forward to learning more and getting hands-on access!

  I've been using node-red for around 7 years now for all sorts of generic web-service integration. Fantastic app and excited to see what's next.

It's really incredible what it can do. I once used it to demo a vulnerability on a client's website using NodeRed that I could trigger from my phone. Basically I made NodeRed spit out a JS file which I enbedded on their site using the vulnerability and could trigger the content of the js from my phone Felt so movie hacking-like. Website looked normal until I flipped a switch on my phone, now all images are replaced by kittens

  Wow my mind is blown. Can you provide a sketch of how you did it so I can learn from this experience? Was the vulnerability due to uploading files? What workflow did you use to deploy straight from your phone?

I taught a group of twenty second graders how to build cardboard IoT houses with a Raspberry Pi and Node Red! They set up automated lights, little computer fans for ventilation, and a web interface to control everything. It really is an incredible hidden gem among the default Raspberry Pi apps.
