Show HN: PrograMaker – Visual Programming Platform • Hacker News Board

An account is needed because up until recently the only input/output possible was through connections with other services, and the way to associate user's with its services was through an account.

I know it's not ideal, but opening public programs in read-only mode is possible without an account:

- With scratch editor: https://programaker.com/programs/181684e0-b3d8-4bd4-aa48-cd8...

- With Flow editor: https://programaker.com/programs/bfc8e5a9-1df8-4494-ac49-586...

Looks great. And I appreciate the docker-compose example and architecture diagram in the README file.

Keen to give this a go.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep in mind that that is an important part.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm looking into it right now

Edit: this should be fixed now

This looks really cool! Am I correct in saying this is competing in the same space as something like Zapier?

Thanks! Yes, it shares use-cases with Zapier, with the goal to have a unifying structure to create webapps and other interactive apps too.

Congrats on shipping this, this looks really cool. Reminds me of n8n.io. What is the reasoning behind writing the flow editor from scratch versus utilising an existing library such as Rete.js? Also, if you need some ideas on the visual programming side of things, feel free to drop me an email, I used to work in this space.
