    Thats true. We started off with a base set of blocks but i think the real utility will come in the easy orchestration and api end point building. We're pushing in the direction of …

    Thanks you beat me to it :) That being said, you're not wrong. It's definitely inspired by ComfyUI. But, with much simpler abstractions, much broader utility and extensions like bu…

    To add to pj's comment - We are adding more blocks constantly. We're also considering allowing the community to push their own blocks using an open api schema.

    Oh yea I know what you mean. There are several parallels here with shader nodes for sure. We've been thinking about a voyager/agent-style approach where an agent can start to learn…

    Nice! Sharing workflows is coming up in approximately 2 sprints. We're working on 2 flavors of sharing. The first is sharing the workflow directly and letting someone copy it for t…
