Hi There!

A perhaps slightly imperfect _node_ but a demonstration of how a visual comparison of flows _might_ work - [FlowCompare node](https://flows.nodered.org/node/@gregoriusrippenstein/node-red-contrib-flowcompare) - as the readme does not work @ [flows.nodered.org](http://flows.nodered.org), the [npmjs package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@gregoriusrippenstein/node-red-contrib-flowcompare) displays the documentation.

Animated gif showing the property panel where the comparison is shown:

The top box shows all changes, the image shows a visual comparison between local and remote and the detailed changes box at the bottom. More details in the [readme](https://github.com/gorenje/node-red-contrib-flow-compare#readme).

Enjoy!
