Is this essentially Quartz Composer, but in the browser? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_Composer

I was always amazed at how sophisticated QC was, and also saddened when it was abandoned by Apple...

This reminded me of another project: https://nodes.io. Apparently it was inspired by cables.gl

yes why did visual programming never fully took off, its somehow like vr ;)

it is like QC or touchdesigner, but you can distribute your projects on your own, without cables itself. basically like you can distribute a game you made with unity.

GitHub: https://github.com/cables-gl/cables

Really cool project, love to see things that touch web tech, VPLs, and creative programming. Could not find repo from the website on mobile, would love to see it in the footer or in the CTA.
