Total.js Flow is an excellent and modern Visual Programming Interface for low-code development. It's a viable alternative to Node-RED and fully open-source under the MIT license.

What differentiates Total.js Flow from Node-RED? Were there frustrations with Node-RED that it was felt were best solved starting over?

At a glance it looks good, but unclear why one would switch.

It'd be nice for HN to support bulleted lists, so we could go for readability without using blank lines.

Eh, you pay just a tiny bit of attention to your comment right after making it, you'll realize how to do it.

From your website

>The main parts of the Total.js Platform are fully open-source

That implies that parts aren't open source?

Except for Total.js API service, payments and Cloud, all parts are open-source under MIT. All of our projects are under the MIT license, but some projects are considered private.
