  • glicol

    Graph-oriented live coding language and music/audio DSP library written in Rust

    Interesting topic for me. Thanks for posting this. As pointed out in other post, it's widely used in audio/music programming. My project Glicol joins this list recently:

    https://glicol.org

    I tried to use solely text based style for denoting audio graph. I would be happy to listen to all the feedback from you at the repo:

  • score

    ossia score, an interactive sequencer for the intermedia arts

    A small issue with flow-based programming is that it often doesn't have a good way to represent time and sequencing over "human" time scales - the main project I work on, https://ossia.io combines timeline and dataflow to solve this. It's mainly used by artists but I always wonder about the other potential use cases for it... if anyone has ideas :D

  • MergeVLDocs

    merges VL documents

    Do you know vvvv gamma[1][2]? It's a visual programming environment for the .Net ecosystem. It's documents are saved in a XML format and they have build a visual merge / diff tool that works quite well. The strategies it applies are explained in detail in the readme of the repo[3].

  • Node RED

    Low-code programming for event-driven applications

    Node-RED is also fairly popular in home automation circles, but it's a generic tool that can be used for different purposes.

    For example, it can also be used to build chatbots.
