Nice! Have you explored showing live values flowing through the nodes? This seems like a good use of animation.

I'll also take a moment to plug my Visual Programming Codex[1], which collects VPLs as though they're butterflies. I'm adding Flyde to the backlog of projects to document, but I'd also suggest looking around there for ideas. There are a ton of valuable new things you can do once you start visualizing programming, especially if you're visualizing the execution behaviour. I'd love to see you push this further.

Thanks! And yes, definately something I am considering exploring. It's right after auto-layout, and "zoom to view grouped nodes internals" (a-la https://xai-primer.com/tool/)

And I was planning to submit a PR for your codex soon! I've visited your codex dozens of times in the last couple of years. Big fan :)
