NoFlo home page

[Henri Bergius]

Hi!

I decided to make a proper home page for NoFlo: http://bergie.github.com/noflo/

Explaining FBP is still a bit tricky, and so comments are very welcome.

PS. as are suggestions for a proper domain. Maybe something like noflojs?

[Chris Brody]

Awesome!

I suggest you try to make a close match between a domain name and the
name of the project, you can start with a redirect and eventually do
your own hosting ala "CoffeeScript".

What about an IDE, using something like MIT-licensed
http://codemirror.net/ as a base?

Also what about a solution for client-side programming?

Yep, that sounds like a plan. Unfortunately noflo.org was taken, but
I'll look for alternatives.

For the actual FBP graphs you can already use DrawFBP (version 2.6
onwards). And NoFlo has the beginnings of a web-based editor built
with http://jsplumb.org/. CodeMirror (or ACE editor) might be cool for
editing the components themselves.

I'm hoping we can collaborate with http://meemoo.org/ on that.

Nice having components with the MIT license (I think ACE editor does not)...

Nice, any hope if they will move from the AGPL?

Here we go: http://noflojs.org/

The site looks nice, Henri!

Maybe instead of writing ace-based editor it is worth making a NoFlo plugin for Cloud9 IDE (which runs on node.js too):

Meemoo.org is now dual MIT/AGPL (copying JQuery), so have at it ;-)

Great! I also made some progress with the NoFlo GUI last week, so next we should see where to reuse and collaborate :-)

Cloud9 is indeed quite interesting, though I'm interested in more
"direct response" kind of UI, if possible. Something in the spirit of:
http://vimeo.com/36579366

(I think FBP has great potential for visualizing changes to software
as you're moving them)

[Vladimir Sibirov]

Interactive UI is fantastic! But what I mean is that Cloud 9 could be a great platform to handle other parts of development environment, such as project environment, file editing for components (this is ace actually), deployment and version control. I believe the visual editor & simulator for FBP graphs could behave as an IDE plugin, as you still need to do some conventional stuff if the project is big enough.
