Hi There! I've started a little project to itch a scratch that might also be useful for others. Ever since I've been using Node-RED, I've also wanted to share flows, either between projects or just to show others how Node-RED works. The solution has always been to send a long json string and ask pe…

Just a short update, I've improved the UI to be more mobile friendly and added some more content. There is a complete list of flows is available as RSS feed . I've been adding flows that I have found interesting but also some learnings I've made: Don't drop when splitting Switch: check all v. stop …

@gregorius : is FlowHub in itself closed source or could I also spin up my own (private) instance somewhere? I really like your idea of sharing and documenting flows, but I don't want to share all of them publicly (especially in a professional context).

FlowHub the server is private. But for financial benefit to me, I can share the code with you! After all I did spend a fair bit of my time working on it and my landlord does not get paid in flows - unfortunately..

Thank you for the clarification. I was suspecting that, but I could not find the official statement :wink: I fully understand and support your motivation. No doubt this costed you quite some effort to think up and build. I will contact you via DM to explain my use case.

[image] gregorius: The solution has always been to send a long json string and ask people to import that string This has always been a pet peeve of mine as well! I don't want to have to import a flow just to visualize the problem being described, or to understand how someone else solved an i…

[image] shrickus: In my opinion, the best use for this technique would be to automatically display in-line flows in both Discourse and the Flows library. Lately, I have been playing around with Mermaid myself. It looks like code blocks already support many different display formats (e.g. Markdow…

Excellent -- which shows how much time I've had to use the Flows library lately... :*( So does this mean that the same rendering code could be added to the Discourse site?

[image] shrickus: So does this mean that the same rendering code could be added to the Discourse site? It could. Writing a discourse plugin to actually do so is another matter entirely. I simply don't have the bandwidth.

I did create an oEmbed endpoint for flowhub.org so that I could integrate SVG versions of flows into LinkedIn posts ... doesn't work because they have an extra provider list :frowning: Is there a way to whitelist FlowHub.org for embedding in discourse? Something like this: https://flowhub.org/o/e…

Fair enough. I won't, in any case be making any more comments on this thread.
