Nodeflow

the nodelfow system is js based ? no WASM ?

Just that I know of a pure golang wasm version if you interested...

Right, it's written in typescript and compiles to Javascript

Curious to see a pure golang wasm version, and what advantages it has. In my experience, the bottleneck is the browser's rendering of things.

I saw one built using gio , a while back on sone github repo.

Gio is a framework in golang that compiles to WASM , that uses the webgl canvas.

there are others that are similar too.

today I would be very curious if it could be done with svg . The mutations goes to golang , which produces and merges the svg .

I did a database ERD this way . When the DB changes the ERD updates.

https://data-star.dev/ does exactly this svg merge. It’s js , with a golang backend .

I’m using it this way to avoid rendering bottlenecks . Many are using Datastar to work with SVG this way to do 2D.

You can attach events to the SVG , such that changes can be events to your golang , and so update the SVG again in an event loop. The golang lives on the server .

it uses SSE to update the browsers SVG from the server.

In many ways the golang WASM step is not needed though

many are using Datastar to generate SVG and merge it .
