Node-RED project lead here :wave: That's all useful feedback to us. There's always a balance to be had between putting lots of code in Function nodes and the visual complexity of doing the equivalent in pure nodes. Part of that is

Node-RED project lead here :wave: As ever, I think each has its strengths and weaknesses, but I know which one I prefer... In terms of 'out of the box' experience, I do agree there is space for some improved Node-RED nodes to supp

There are a few such services out there today. It's also what we're working on at https://flowforge.com (Disclaimer - I'm the co-founder of the Node-RED project, and CTO/Founder at FlowForge)

Given Node-RED is intended as a low-code programming tool, hand-writing the flow JSON has never really been a requirement - certainly not one I can recall being brought up in the community. It's certainly possible to generate flow JSON

(Node-RED project lead here) Some great questions, and not necessarily short answers. > What are the flaws of Node-RED? The areas that you plan (or hope) to give many, many necessary love somewhere in the future? It works really well a

(Node-RED project lead here) Node-RED is an open-source project and part of the OpenJS Foundation. We'd certainly aspire Node-RED to be comparable at a technical level with other offerings. But as an OSS project, we aren't looking

(Node-RED project lead here) There are a few nodes for dealing with swagger in Node-RED - either generating Swagger doc for your HTTP end points, or on the client side to make it easy to interact with a Swagger documented API. For example:

(Node-RED project lead here) It is not at all limited to prototyping. There are an ever-growing number of companies incorporating Node-RED in their own products and services - you can see a list of some of them on the project homepage. They

(Project creator here) The flow configuration is stored in a JSON file. That can pose challenges when it comes to getting meaningful diffs. That said, we do have the Projects feature that brings version control (backed by git) into the edit

I agree, which is why I asked for an example of where they felt dismissed or ignored so we could understand and learn from it.

Hi - project maintainer here. Always keen to get feedback, so interested where your 'not commercial-ready' comment comes from. There are quite a few companies using Node-RED in production today within their own products and servic
