A great many services have similar stipulations. This is similar to how GitHub was OK to use all the public repositories on its service as training fodder for copilot. Though there are ongoing arguments as to how this applies to code someone else uploaded: they didn't necessarily have the right to assign those rights to GH so the legal status is less clear than their terms of service might suggest.

Does anyone know if they are using any UI toolkit for the nodes/edges blocks or have they built it themselves? I am looking for something something similar but for different purpose, just the ui toolkit without any logic built on top of it

A pretty common one is jsPlumb - https://jsplumbtoolkit.com/ - might be what you're looking for. I'm sure there are others as well.

There was no longer a time when we changed terms. Our company provides content creator sites such as Bufferwall.com and other blog post apps for blogs (therefore those conditions). But we will update the terms this month by adding some clear exceptions for UI Builder, cloud services, etc.. That's not clear for all. We will get it clarified.

I don't understand what's the difference, will still be horrible have all the thing I do used without consent in a pay service. I dont want to have my security bulneravilities(when not if) being show in mockup of functionality, or have the code of my servers used whiout my consent I feel a paid marketplace could be a better way to monetization, or a way to share explicit, If not you can clone all my company code whiut warrant, or say that mY assets are yours.

> CSS is Bootstrap 3. > there's liberal use of "var" > The components implementation is very pythonic - it passes "self" around to decorate with functions Could you explain why these things are bad, other than "it's not the hip and trendy way to do things"?

Sure. Using Bootstrap 3 is a problem because it hasn't been supported for over three years and is no longer actively maintained [1]. This is a problem for many reasons, security and maintenance among them. The use of var has long been understood to be problematic due to footguns with scoping issues. It's the reason "let" was introduced into the language, and is pretty much exclusively used now. The pythonic approach…

> I don't think any developer would be excited to put "Bootstrap 3" on their resume today

Would anyone put Bootstrap 3 specifically? Using a newer version is not a massive difference. You'd also put "Ruby" on your resume, rather than "Ruby 2".

How does it compare to Luna Park? https://luna-park.app/

With no offense intended, I've never heard of it, but. I would say, compare Luna Park with node red and compare the difference with total. Because this application is an alternative to Node Red.

Total.js Flow is an excellent and modern Visual Programming Interface for low-code development. It's a viable alternative to Node-RED and fully open-source under the MIT license.

From your website

>The main parts of the Total.js Platform are fully open-source

That implies that parts aren't open source?
