What it does
What if programming was about ideas, not semicolons? Compose, abstract, generalise. Start from top down or bottom up and refine as you go. With Nodes, programming feels like sketching on a canvas.
Nodes is a new way to create with code.
What if programming was about ideas, not semicolons? Compose, abstract, generalise. Start from top down or bottom up and refine as you go. With Nodes, programming feels like sketching on a canvas. Zoom in and out of problems, experiment on the side and easily re-use parts of other projects. Nodes is created by variable.io , a generative design and data visualisation studio. Use any WebGL framework and export videos from your 3D scenes. Use the DOM with HTML, CSS and JavaScript to create applications, desktop or mobile alike. Create your models from the ground up and export them to reuse in other tools such as Blender. Export a subset of your parameters for tech savvy clients or other…from nodes.io

Talanoa▲345Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
