If we spent the time building tools for visual coding it’s possible we’d be able to do way more.
Just thinking about diffing for example, it would be much easier to see which nodes have changes in the whole codebase by just highlighting them red. It’d be easier also to depict something like “the flow for this process changes from this to this”
- gabigrin 3y agoAuthor here. Diffing is a great example. The first incarnation of Flyde had naive version control built into it and had such diff features! Diffing from VSCode already makes a bit of sense (see https://imgur.com/a/WXj89tx https://imgur.com/a/WXj89tx). Next step is to color it differently, and finally, add a browser extension to render diffs nicely from GitHub/Gitlab's UI as well :)
