Anyone know of programming environments geared towards visually assembling logic on a touchscreen?
Kinda like scratch or one of those flow hased editors they have in game engines?
Found a list with a bunch of these things. Gonna go through and check them out. https://github.com/wbkd/awesome-node-based-uis
The coolest looking and least understandable one is https://ioun.it/ so far. :P
For some reason they decided to use their own software defined keyboard instead of allowing the Android keyboard to pop up.
Yeah, not sure *what* I'm doing, but it almost looks like something?
@mauve is CrossCut at all what you're looking for? It's not a traditional programming environment, but it has some very cool ideas.
@quinn Oh yeah! I forgot about this. It was only for ipads right?
@mauve I believe so!
@mauve
Here's a big list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language Some of them are open-source and can likely be used with a custom language/logic. I would recommend something web-based
@redsolver Have you tried any before that worked well? I've tried some visual things that were still aiming for keyboard and mouse and it ends up feeling clunky on a phone.
@mauve was Blockly on the list? https://developers.google.com/blockly
@alexwykoff I haven't tried it yet, but it's on the TODO list.
Honestly, it's very much scratch-like. Personally I found those flavors a lot less visually appealing, but I should really give it a go before knocking it.
@mauve sort of looks like a 3d mindmap but for a site's links?
@GeeksLoveDetail Apparently it's a live visual programming environment. :P
@mauve that is rather hard to believe according to how it looks to me... 
@GeeksLoveDetail yeah, I'm still not convinced myself. No clue how I'm supposed to be triggering this request.
@GeeksLoveDetail Oh wait I figured it out!
You need to supply all of the parameters in order for it to execute. 😁
@mauve I see.....still looks like a 3d mindmap to me, no matter how I try to look at it 😶
@GeeksLoveDetail Could defs use it as a 3d mind map.
What's cool is you can add in live coding into the mix so you can have your mind map input and output data from URLs or the such.
@mauve i'm totally gonna enjoy those on a massive virtual touchscreen using my Cyberdesk client, taking inspiration from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsTKwx_VNcU
@technobaboo Wow that looks fancy as hell. What are they actually using this stuff for?
Honestly, I just want to do my usual programming but using flow based stuff on a touchscreen instead of a mouse and keyboard.
@mauve Nemo-UX was meant to be for massive table touchscreens to work collaboratively, like in meetings or such... it never took off, but since we can make it virtual it can take off again!
Just tried a bunch of the web based ones. They didn't work well at all on my phone or tablet.
🤷 All of them are assuming mouse and keyboard support. (or are just super out of date and broken or unfinished)
