The video was trying to do two things at once: explain the goals and high level ideas as well as demonstrate "syntax" (the clicks and drag and drops). Since these are both new to people coming to your site, it's hard to digest at the same time. I'd love a video of just explaining what the demo is doing, since I didn't really understand how to program in the new approach you described.

That auto full screen thing is infuriating.

Just came here to say the same thing, sounds interesting but I bounced soon as I couldn't view outside of fullscreen.

Agreed, that was very strange. Right click "Copy video link". Leads me to - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy5m091fOTU

Some feedback on the website: IMO, it's obnoxious and disrespectful to play full screen video like you're doing. That just made me close it immediately and leave after reading through the text.

Considering the complexity involved in developing a an advanced IDE or similar, have you considered publishing an open source community version? Similar to JetBrain with IntelliJ. They seem to be doing great.

Since we're on the subject of experimental UI concepts, I'll plug Bret Victor's Inventing on Principle [0] talk. For me it was an instant classic.

As a quick fix, I've put there a direct link to that video.

Looks very similar to blueprints in UE4, with more visual integration of what actually happens.

Actually, that presents the code in a visual way while this allows you to work on the thing itself. Similar to Stop Drawing Dead Fish by Bret Victor: https://vimeo.com/64895205

He is my hero actually :)

This seems quite similar to LabView. So I imagine it'll have similar pros and cons: LabView is great for putting together quick prototypes for e.g data collection or visualization, but it quickly becomes unmanageable as the complexity increases; you need to 'tidy up' the placement of the various operators or it ends up being a rat's nest.
