What it is
Everything the app does, in one place you can point at
No separate frontend repo, backend repo and glue. One project, on your machine, as plain files you can put in git.
The thing you draw is the thing that runs
Pages, components, state, queries and a backend are nodes you place and wire. There is no build step between the canvas and the running app — change a node, watch the preview change.
An agent that works in the file you do
NodeGX speaks MCP. Point Claude at a project and it reads the graph, plans the change, and writes components you can open afterwards and actually follow. Every write is validated before it lands.
Yours, offline, GPL-3.0
A desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. Projects live on your disk in a format that diffs. NodeGX is a fork of Noodl, continued by The Low Code Foundation after the original was discontinued.

Alpha, and honest about it
This is a public alpha: it builds real apps and it still has rough edges we write down rather than hide. Every release ships with what changed and what is known broken.
Wires you can read — direction carried by shape rather than colour alone, bends you can drag, and a refused connection that tells you why it was refused.
Being built
Community, learning and the university
Right now the conversation happens on Discord. These three are what replace it — one place to ask, one place to learn, and lessons that run inside the editor itself. The waitlist below is how you hear when each opens.
Community
Forums, showcases and help that stays findable — unlike a chat scrollback.
Learning
Guided paths from a first node to a deployed full-stack app, written against the version you actually have.
University
Lessons that open in the editor and check your graph as you build it, rather than asking you to watch someone else build.

Hear when the community opens
One email when there is something real to log into — plus the occasional release note. Nothing else.
