🎥 Datalog Notebook 💡 Self and Self: Whys and Wherefores ✍️ Towards Text-Editor-ish UX 🥼 Digital Scientific Notation

Our Work

🎥 13/02/2023, Datalog notebook via Peter Saxton

🧵 conversation

Made a code notebook for datalog queries.

As there is no plain text (or parser) does this count as another structural editor

🧵 conversation

Inspired by re-reading Naur’s “Programming as Theory Building” I decided to make myself a text editor to solve all my problems… tl;dr I wrote a blog post and some bash instead 😂

🔌 Hello World | Playground | Visual Programming for the Modern Web via Gabriel Grinberg

🧵 conversation

Hello everyone! 👋 I am thrilled to share the progress made with Flyde with this community of like-minded individuals.

Flyde is an open-source, flow-based, and visual programming toolkit that prioritizes exceptional UX/DX and seamless integration with existing code. The toolkit features a VSCode extension, visual debugging, full TypeScript support, a rich standard library, and is designed to work in tandem with existing codebases. In essence, Flyde is similar to NodeRED, but geared towards web development.

This is the first time I am sharing Flyde with a broader community, and I believe feedback from such a talented, inquisitive, and passionate group of people would be invaluable to the project.

Check out the interactive playground here - flyde.dev/playground!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback! Additionally, a star on GitHub would be greatly appreciated! 😊

Does anybody have any examples of version controlled projects that use visual programming?

🌳 Visualize a Mastodon thread tree via Kartik Agaram

🧵 conversation

Today I put together a little visualizer for Mastodon threads. The graph layout is nothing special, but:

• it has structured keyboard shortcuts (up for parent, down for child, left/right for siblings) which might be more useful for understanding a complex thread
• as always you can live-edit it so it's hopefully easy to improve

One other little integration: opening links in browsers opens up all sorts of cross-platform cans of worms, so I ended up just copying a URL to the clipboard any time you click on a toot.
