The latest version of Node-RED, Node-RED 5, has released! This release has some pretty big changes - a brand new UI, additional functionality inside of nodes, and new accessibility features. Also a zoom to fit function - meaning a way zoome

I'm at the point where I might start professionally using a voice changer. I mean what in the world, my guy?

The Industrial Space Needs to Be Braver(kristopherleads.substack.com)

Here's a hot take for you: the industrial space needs to be braver. A lot of the conservatism was earned with time and experience - but it's about time for us to be braver in what, and how, we adopt at scale. Walk into any plant f

Don't we already have this in HTML5?

Funnily enough, I only use the phone bumping feature when AirDrop is broken and won't detect I'm literally right next to my spouse.

I 100% agree with you that in a perfect world the submitter should be doing the review work. But the reality is that we don't live in a perfect world - and just sticking our fingers in our ears and shouting it's not our job isn&#x

Vibe Coding Isn't the Problem – It's Your Approvals Process(kristopherleads.substack.com)

Vibe coding is in the news these days, and for largely negative reasons. And in many cases, fair enough - vibe coding has been associated with severe lapses in security, both in terms of the products they create and the platforms used to de

Hey all, FlowFuse has built out an agentic solution for AI-powered flow inspection and development called FlowFuse Assistant - and we just released it to the Node-RED community via an open source node! FlowFuse Assistant brings a ton of fea

I really think the answer here is human-in-the-loop. Too many people are thinking that AI is a full on drop-in replacement for engineers or managers, but ultimately having it be an augment is the magic. I work at FlowFuse so super biased, b

Was just on a Lufthansa and then United flight - both of which did not have WiFi. Was wondering if there was something going on at the infrastructure level.

What's the inclusivity reasons? I'd be interested in understanding a bit more about that.

This is o-fish-ially my favourite post on HackerNews today.

I really dislike the focus on graphics here, but I think a lot of people are missing big chunk of the article that's focused on efficiency. If we can get high texture + throughput content like dual 4k streams but with 1080p bandwidth,

That federation piece is super interesting. I'm actually giving a talk in Sweden this week about machine learning/AI training in the age of data sovereignty, and my suggestion was two-fold - better and more widespread adoption of

I guess the bigger question is why use two tools when you can use one? Full disclosure I work at Node-RED/FlowFuse, so take that into consideration, but the point remains - if you need to use both an orchestration tool and a flow manag

You could, but then you start getting into additional costs, controlling how much of your metrics are surfaced vs. kept internal, etc. At that point, why not just go for another solution? Like you could make a car like a truck, but why not

by kristopherleads 11mo ago
Yeah, exactly! What's so funny to me is that people who think they want no-code really don't want no-code. Because no-code is built for that - but even novices in coding will really quickly outstrip a no-code native environment, w

That's how I explained it to someone else recently - a lot of solutions on the hype train right now feel like they're made with duct tape and popsicle sticks.
23.
by kristopherleads 11mo ago
Well that really comes down to how much control the solution actually gives you, right? I'm a DevRel at FlowFuse, so yes - biased - but something like Node-RED can give you wild complexity or pretty simple flows. I think where other so

It's also just not where the product needs to go. When a lot of users get frustrated and jump back to high-code environments ( https://www.reddit.com/r/n8n/comments/1mcm9d2/why_i_left_n8n... ), that p

Is open-core a sub-genre of post-hardcore? I generally prefer midwest emo, to be honest.

Some might argue this confusion is intentional and injected by people trying to obfuscate that their fav is in fact not open source.

Full disclosure, I'm incredibly biased here as I'm a DevRel at FlowFuse, but there's a reason I joined them instead of n8n. On the surface they're comparable, but I think Node-RED (and FlowFuse) is a better solution for

What makes it feel harder to you for non-technical users? I'm a huge fan - it's what brought me to them to do DevRel stuff - so I'm really invested in making sure that the onboarding/use pathway is really clean and well

Love to hear you love using Node-RED! That package looks pretty cool! I'll check it out - I'm super in the weeds today with a flow so I'm in deep-dive mode.

by kristopherleads 1y ago
It definitely can! Full disclosure, I'm a DevRel at FlowFuse, so I'm definitely biased here - but there's quite a lot of support for AI workflows, from lightweight automation to fairly complex pipelines. For example, I'm
