Thank you, that is encouraging. We're working to make it really good.
ZUI dataflow has been done in the past with Nuke. VFX people make some massively complex graphs with that tool.

2. Pi serves Flowhub IDE (noflo-ui) with the currently-running graph, ready for editing
This demo drops you directly into the source, but could easily have an interface layer first. It's just a link.

I meant to fix that before launch, but now you can launch examples from the home screen before logging in. https://github.com/noflo/noflo-ui/issues/220
I'd love it if YouTube comments worked like this. Why don't they?
Throwing money into that dynamic is opening all kinds of worm cans.
I hear there will be video in a couple weeks.
I have used both, and AirBNB is much easier in cities, where Couchsurfing hosts probably get way too many requests.
One of the big design differences (vs Quartz Composer, Lab View, Pure Data) is that it will be easy to dive in and edit component code and make new components when needed.
NoFlo's UI design will make it easy to dive in and edit any module's source, as well as make a new module when code is easier than wiring. We are coders designing this tool for our own work.
Not everybody will be a programmer, but hopefully a slightly larger percentage of the population will be able to discover the power of algorithmic thinking, and hopefully they will work on some interesting problems.
Same with programming, if everybody had some base level of algorithmic literacy, they could at least have some idea if a mind-numbing repetitive task could be done with a simple script.
IFTTT does a great job of making it easy to glue web services together. NoFlo could be a powerful step up from that.
