It might sound stupid, but is there a visual equivalent to linux pipes? As in, i have a software that has something iterratable (browser search result, fileexplorer, document) and these result "plop" out into a visual pipe, were they get filtered (either by hand or by some NN-magic or by code) and processed by other pipleline parts. Finally the result drops out into a Folder, a File, a SnyDrive or some CMS system. I just want to have that factorio overview over my whole workprocess pipeline and everything stuck in it. Inclusive rerouting capability. That would be supersweet. Has that ever been attempted?
