Nice work, congrats!

I do love visual programming and I use n8n a lot for my side projects. I really like its "delayed debug" features, so that I can analyse each step of the flow weeks later than it happened (i.e, I can see why a webhook failed long ago and even replay it step by step).

One missing feature that I've been working on is a "export workflow to code" feature. This way, once you are finished working on a workflow, you could run it everywhere without the need of installing the full IDE.

Again, nice work!



Thanks! Flyde is "just" a library behind the scenes, so you grab your .flyde file, and can run it with an npm package. For example:

``` import { loadFlow } from "@flyde/runtime";

const execute = await loadFlow("./celsius-to-fahrenheit.flyde");

const inputs = { celsius: 0 }; // "celcius" is a main input in the flow, therefore it must be provided when executing the flow const { result } = execute(inputs); // execute returns a "result" promise, along with a cleanup function that can be used to cancel the execution.

const { fahrenheit } = await result; // each output in the flow is a property on the result object

console.log(fahrenheit) ```

But your comment strengthens my feeling that making this more intuitive and discoverable and is indeed something I should prioritize


Nice! I definitely will try it :)
