Hey HN guys ... you should read up on the Kickstarter page before dismissing this, it really contains a ton of information summarized: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/noflo/noflo-development... (The videos are especially great!)

Bergie has a lot of content on his blog as well (http://bergie.iki.fi).
