Re: Flowhub is now in Public Beta
#33I am elderly enough to remember IRIS Explorer on SGI Workstations way back in the 1990's, when having a 2Gb hard drive was just about unimaginable. Here is a quickly Googled screenshot: http://wwwasdoc.web.cern.ch/wwwasdoc/lhcpp/irisexplorer.gif IRIS Explorer was awesome, but hardware was not really up to the job in those days. There was also a rich market in GIS and other applications that did what you needed so the…
IRIS Explorer seems really interesting! I agree with you about that "loose of control feeling". I think it is a common effect that happens every time we go to a higher level or alternative paradigm. We have to create ways to easy go trough those levels and back again. With Flowhub you can always go inside the 'black boxes' creating your own components as reported in the "Component Editor" section of http://bergie.iki…
I believe the British 'NAG Group' bought IRIS Explorer and that it is still being used in academia. You should approach them, explain what you are doing and try to get a demo.
Reason being that wheels get reinvented, and, in IRIS Explorer, there were lots of ideas that were far ahead of its time. Some of those ideas have been lost and some bright spark just needs to pick them up again...

#34I need a better introduction to understand how flow programming works, and how I might use it. Instead I see a (seemingly) complex graph which I understand represents a program, but it's not clear how this really works in relation to text programming. I could spend hours and hours digging to figure it out, but that could be a waste of time, so I won't do it. I get text based programming. Find a way to quickly connect…
If anyone is in the mood to spend some time learning about flow-based programming works, there is a lot of material here: http://www.reddit.com/r/DataflowProgramming/

#35At first glance it shares a lot of similarities with Quartz Composer, which on Wikipedia is described as a node-based visual programming language.

#36Ah, come on, you sold out already? It's not even been an hour on HN, let me in dudes I wanna know what this is.
e: Tried example. I don't get it. It's like coding with a mindmap or something?

The initial batch of discounted pre-orders is sold out. We'll do another batch later this month.

#38I think well-structured and designed landing pages are too infrequent, so I like the OP on that alone...and being an optimist, I'm always a little excited when I hear of a new paradigm, or an iteration of it...because that means that there is a (slightly) new way of thinking about and doing things...maybe even better than my own. Either way, I like that the opportunity exists (even if I never get around to thoroughly…
How easy is it to examine the underlying abstractions behind connecting one pipe from one icon to another? Depends on the runtime you're talking to. For example MicroFlo on an Arduino behaves quite differently from NoFlo on Node.js In NoFlo each connection is basically connecting an event emitter to an event listener. So, what happens is a JavaScript addEventListener operation.
how do ya'll handle errors? Is this primarily built on Node?

#39Looks great! I like the quartz composer like interface. Good luck with the projecT.

#40If the website's performance is a promise of the performance of the application, I don't really feel tempted to try it. I'm using the latest Firefox Aurora release and I am getting very sluggish scrolling and slow loading on the main page. I wish this trend of gigantic slide-able pictures and animated transitions would stop. Yes, it feels like I'm browsing through a tablet/phone app, but I'm on a desktop, I'd love to…
> also please don't force people to register and login to try the app, if I can't just get on the page and try it without giving away some private data, I don't really feel tempted to try it at all.
I meant to fix that before launch, but now you can launch examples from the home screen before logging in. https://github.com/noflo/noflo-ui/issues/220
