Inspired by re-reading Naur’s “Programming as Theory Building” I decided to make
myself a text editor to solve all my problems…
tl;dr I wrote a blog post and some bash instead

Hello World | Playground | Visual Programming for the Modern Web
via Gabriel Grinberg

🧵 conversation

Hello everyone! 👋 I am thrilled to share the progress made with Flyde with this
community of like-minded individuals.

Flyde is an open-source, flow-based, and visual
programming toolkit that prioritizes exceptional UX/DX and seamless integration
with existing code. The toolkit features a VSCode extension, visual debugging,
full TypeScript support, a rich standard library, and is designed to work in
tandem with existing codebases. In essence, Flyde is similar to NodeRED, but
geared towards web development.

This is the first time I am sharing Flyde with a broader community, and I
believe feedback from such a talented, inquisitive, and passionate group of
people would be invaluable to the project.

Check out the interactive playground here -
flyde.dev/playground!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback! Additionally, a star on
GitHub would be greatly appreciated! 😊

Does anybody have any examples of version controlled projects that use visual
programming?

I like this kind of 'hybrid' editor direction!

Visualize a Mastodon thread tree
via Kartik Agaram

🧵 conversation

Today I put together a little visualizer for Mastodon threads. The graph layout
is nothing special, but:

it has structured keyboard shortcuts (up for parent, down for child,
left/right for siblings) which might be more useful for understanding a
complex thread
as always you can live-edit it so it's hopefully easy to improve

One other little integration: opening links in browsers opens up all sorts of
cross-platform cans of worms, so I ended up just copying a URL to the clipboard
any time you click on a toot.
