Looks promising, but it's hard to tell without a more full-featured demo.

I'm comparing this to Node-RED [0] which is pretty robust and has a large ecosystem. Ultimately, I think the value in diagramming platforms is not just in the software, but the community around it that creates plugins/extensions for different use-cases.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Surprisingly little. Though for a small time the Go releases were almost the same version numbers as GoJS so I'd have a mini heart attack when go-lang made HN frontpage. (for us, Go stands for Graph Object)

In that case you should rename the project GObjectJS to avoid further confusion :-)

I used to think gevent was a Google made library about event handling. Turn out the g stands for greenlet.

I agree gojs is confusing as it seems to be "go-lang implementation in javascript" but I believe no one can claim the ownership over the word "go", as it's an normal English word as well...

Given that AWS continues to spin out more and more purpose-built technology as needs come up, I wonder whether AWS's long-term strategy is to: - Continue to spin out products to support common business use cases. - Expose commonly used functionality from products via this WYSIWYG tool. - Allow drag and drop programming by connecting services. - Lambdas are the primary way that a business bridges gaps between OOB func…

I'm Building it now. I imagine hundreds of others are as well.

Shameless plug: If you're looking to develop a web app with diagramming functionality and need considerably more features, I make GoJS: https://gojs.net/latest/index.html In addition to basic stuff like zooming and moving nodes GoJS has undo management, data binding, templates, lots of built in tools and layouts and a large showcase of customizations of each, animations, palettes, overviews, etc. It's not free, but i…

Thanks, I'm after product like that right now. How does it compare with PlumbJS and JointJS? Are there any more competing libraries that you are aware of? My use case is complicated as I'm playing in someone elses sandbox with constrained JS and DOM API's (that's what Salesforce calls it when they liberate you of software).

Hi, The discussed topic is in the area of my interests and strictly connected with the challenges in the company I work in! I've been working with the GoJS library for many years, creating advanced diagram apps. Multiple comparisons with other libraries made me assume that the performance and the number of features spoke for GoJS. Actually we are just launching a product that is based on GoJS.
