There should be one :o Perhaps it took time to load on your end?

Enso is super cool, been following their work since the time they were called luna :) Flyde is TS to start with, but Python is the next candidate in language support. Eventually, the plan is to rewrite the core/runtime layer of Flyde t

This is something I ponder about a lot. For those proficient in writing textual programs, a tool such as Flyde as-is might provide value by enforcing modules to be stand-alone and well-defined; the premise of https://en.wikipedia

Hey, author here. Does this happen in the playground, home page or extension? Will look into it!

Thanks! this means a lot, as I've been through many iterations with this one. Each affected some other revelation in my journey with Flyde. PS: Here's an older one - https://web.archive.org/web/20230313081811&

Thank you! 1. Nodes with custom logic, structure (inputs/outputs etc) and custom configuration editing are definitely possible. But I assume you mean custom nodes as in nodes that render the data passing through them, like in litegrap

It's a question I get many times and while the point makes sense, I think that the value of translating a piece of code as-is to Flyde isn't that high. The resulting visual representation will resemble the AST of the transformed c

Thanks for reporting! Will check and fix this.

Author here. It's a valid point, I think once they start entering into Discord and want to build a Discord bot, Flyde might come in handy as an educational tool.

Valid point. Node-RED is a successful and popular tool and has a great ecosystem, especially around automation and IoT. NodeRED is a standalone tool than a "language", and although it's possible, using it to integrate with (a

Yes! As a big fan of functional-reactive programming, it was important to me that Flyde builds on that foundation, and doesn't fall into more imperative paradigms. With that being said, Flyde does offer an easy way for node authors to

Thank you! Flyde's first incarnation was more of a "Visual serverless" platform, something like Zapier, but where you could "see the JSON" and change any piece you want. So the alternatives at that time were NodeRED

100%! Cherry-picking what makes sense to "elevate" to the visual sphere and having it co-exist with traditional coding is the only way I believe visual programming can be truly useful.

Oh damn! thanks for reporting! Fix going live now Please try a different example (it changes the link based on the example on the right side).

Thanks!

Oh, snap! Deploying a fix now. Forgot to remove that after a docs rehaul. Tutorials still need to be re-written after some major changes, but perhaps this old blog post can give a sense - https://medium.com/@gabrielgrinberg&

Thanks! Flyde is "just" a library behind the scenes, so you grab your .flyde file, and can run it with an npm package. For example: ``` import { loadFlow } from "@flyde/runtime"; const execute = await loadFlow(&quot

Author here. The main difference is the target use case. I'm far from being a Pure Data expert, but it seems more aimed towards music/media generation. Flyde on the other hand is aimed to be used in the application layer of modern

Thanks, exactly what I aimed for (: Regarding composition, anything you had in mind? I can draft a playground ( https://play.flyde.dev/ ) example for you

by gabigrin 3y ago
Thanks! I agree, and while no one knows how development will look in 5-10 years from now, I find it hard to believe it'll be _just_ textual based, and I hope Flyde will help inspire that move.

- Thanks! - Re: "function with parameters" you mean so the configuration is exposed on the node itself? It's definitely something I want to consider as an UX improvement. At first, I was very puristic about having all config

Great read, as always! The combination of the Elm reference and "coarsely structure codebases around CPU timelines and dataflow" statement reminded me of this great talk by Evan Czaplicki (Elm creator): https://www.yout

Very cool idea. I have implemented such "dumbing down" manually a couple of times - can confirm the pain is real. Have to admit that the difference between the "before" and "after" UI in the video doesn't

If you're looking for a similar solution that has 0 vendor lock in, checkout https://www.flyde.dev . It's still WIP but Open-Source and comes with a VSCode extension. I'm planning on launching it soon as well :)
