Nodes is your thinking space for exploring ideas with code.
What if programming was about ideas, not semicolons? Compose, abstract, generalise. Start from top down or bottom up and refine as you go. With Nodes, programming feels like sketching on a canvas. Zoom in and out of problems, experiment on the side and easily re-use parts of other projects.
Nodes is created by variable.io, a generative design and data visualisation studio.
