blockjs IDE

blockjs is (going to be) a graphical component IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for JavaScript and Node.js. Programming will be done by combining graphical components rather than writing traditional text files. Complete application source code will look like block diagrams or schematic diagrams.

This project will be a web-based application written in JavaScript and with Node.js. License is GPL version 3.

Project Status

At the moment I am writing documentation draft. Also gathering ideas and comments how the blocks should be presented and doing some small concept testing.

Feel free to fork the project and test your own ideas!

Live demo is under progress but it is still missing most features.
