The flows are stored as JSON and there is a setting to save them as prettified to make them more readable (`flowFilePretty: true` in the settings.js which is on by default in recent release).

Also the flow storage is fully plugable (https://nodered.org/docs/api/storage/) so nothing to stop you choosing/implementing a different storage format e.g. YAML https://github.com/natcl/node-red-contrib-yaml-storage

Yep, should work fine with a USB-A to USB-C cable as well

Yep

The power draw is better with the new bootloader (lets the whole USB stack drop into low power mode)

Also this is USB-C native for all the mac book folk out there that hate to carry all those adapters

Re:Raspberry Pi 4 as a USB-C peripheral on Saturday November 02, 2019 @06:02PM (#21430429)
Say you are a mac user and want a portable Linux environment to play with that has GPIO? (That you can use on a plane)

You want to run a secure off line personal Certificate Authority (a Pi Zero would probably be enough and can work in the same way)

It can also be any other type of USB device, e.g. a HID device (keyboard/mouse/joystick) you can dream up loads of interesting things to do with this

I wonder if they've been holding out on this until after the Google vs Oracle Android/Java API stuff?

My gut feel is this could fall under the same sort of arguments as they are effectively re-documenting other peoples APIs
