#3In the get started section, the background style you have doesn't seem to work properly on Firefox (fine on Safari), so it appears as white text with a drop shadow against an all white background.
Looks like an interesting tool though.

#4Given the little commitment I see from Apple regarding Quartz Composer I wonder if this isn't an opportunity to build a new, better Quartz Composer with a stronger focus on UI Design and release it as an app. Actually, given the current state of what's possible in the browser, I suppose most of that should even be possible in a browser so that it runs on all platforms.
The things that come to mind that would not work in the browser are also the things that UI designers hardly need like Midi, OSC, low level IO, Webcam (and that even kinda works).

I made an app called PixelConduit which is fundamentally a lot like Quartz Composer, although the specific use cases ended up being rather different:
The app became free last year, and I've also been thinking about open sourcing most of it, but haven't got around to it... (Well, some of the base libraries are on Github, but that's as far as I got.)
The code base would probably work nicely for something similar to Origami. If someone out there happens to be interested in building something new on top of the PixelConduit code, don't hesitate to get in touch!
(The major reason why I didn't finish opening the code is that some of it is quite old; there's lots of unused stuff lying around that should be cleaned out before a public release. But I'd be happy to share the code privately.)

Wow. I don't work in the video production space, but this looks really powerful. Why did you end up making it free?

I remember looking at this a few times and always thinking it was super cool. Is there a repository of "conduits" anywhere? I'm looking for a HDR tonemapper running on the GPU that I could use with After Effects or FCP

#10Excited to try this out. I showed my designer your blog post on how you used Quartz Composer to sketch out your iOS app redesign. By itself, the Quartz Composer is pretty intimidating.
One nitpick, the .pkg isn't signed and Gatekeeper is blocking it from running.
