if someone can spin up a usable gui, charge enough to make a living without compromising on performance, promise some longevity and a way to export of my stuff I would probably pay for that, I loved pipes, the GUI was a big deal for me.

Which interface do you think is more newbie friendly? My gut says blocks (maybe something a bit more simple/refined than blocky) are easier to grok, while wires allow for designing more complex workflows.
maybe figure out a few common workflows that people would make in riko or node-red, and mock up how they'd work/look in blocks vs. wiring/pipes.
Good idea, what are your workflows?
What kind of a demand is there for a pipes-kind of product or even a customizable/searchable rss/feed integrator?
How much would a typical user be willing to pay for it?
