At least one of these, Node-RED, I'm pretty sure has always been open source? It's excellent, by the way.

- chazu 11y agoYou're correct, it's been open-source for quite some time. I can also second your assertion that its worth checking out - I would say its a more accessible flow-based programming tool than noflo.js, which I found to have a more complicated toolchain and less helpful documentation than node-RED.
- da_chicken 11y agoSomething with less helpful documentation than an IBM product? I can't decide if I should be shocked or merely incredulous.
- jaytaylor 11y agoIt does look quite interesting! http://nodered.org/ http://nodered.org/ https://github.com/node-red/node-red https://github.com/node-red/node-red I was particularly surprised/impressed that 82% of the code is Javascript.
- compostor42 11y agoNode-RED is very impressive once you get the hang of it. You can do some very cool stuff entirely within Node-RED. Here is an HTTP chat server done entirely in Node-RED: http://flows.nodered.org/flow/62ae8ebebf117979bbc9 http://flows.nodered.org/flow/62ae8ebebf117979bbc9 I think it has great potential as a learning tool to get kids interested in programming.
