Nodes.io is looking great! *For other HN readers: If you're going to leave a message, can you ask yourself, if it's really worth to be so negative? *

I very seldom share anything of my own here for this reason. It’s cool to have high expectations but it’s really a shame how much people just dump on everything without any consideration for the intent or level of effort that went into something. It’s disheartening. I have a project I’ve just launched that I’m incredibly proud of, with all the warts a just launched thing might have, and I’ve barely mentioned it here…

> level of effort that went into something

The level of effort that went into something is absolutely irrelevant to your users if it doesn’t solve their problem.

Okay thanks Jira, sometimes people are just making stuff to learn, or explore, or experiment, or share something that addressed their own needs or wants.

Wow, somehow looks similar to another site that I discovered few weeks ago: https://cables.gl/

I googled and found this: https://nodes.io/story/#background

> When we set off to create a tool of our own, there were already plenty of different node-based or visual scripting/programming tools and environments; VVVV, Houdini, TouchDesigner, Cables.gl, Vizor Patches, Lichen, MaxMSP, UE4 Blueprints and Origami were among the most popular.

The people who knee-jerk complain here are not the users though. They are the people who say "I wouldn't use this, therefore it's useless".

I need something like this to let non-programmers create some basic JavaScript scripts/flows in an app I have. Obviously would need to be some level of power user but hopefully doesnt require them to know how to code. Has anyone tried this or any of the related projects and have an opinion or experience on what works best for a “normal” user?

40-second video that lagged so much it was unplayable on my X200 that runs discord fine, and can have 300 tabs open in firefox without a sweat. Obviously, we're off to a good start.

Forever benchmarking on old hardware is counterintuitive to forward progress. As much as I love my T400, I know someday, probably sooner rather than later, it won’t be suited to daily use.

Been following the creators for awhile and very much happy to see them democratizing their difficult skillset. Most designers -- think anyone using figma -- are effectively locked out of modern interactive and animated visuals due to not knowing hardcore shaders + effective js coding. To get a feel for how hard that is, look at the public timeline of Shirley Wu, another wonderful award-winning designer and experience…

Do you have a link to this?
