Hi, one if the authors here. Happy to answer any questions.

Has anyone looked into using this (or a similar tool) for financial modeling? Seems like this has a lot of the "no programming" aspect of spreadsheets while allowing for a more intuitive approach to visualizing how the data flows in a financial model
Does it have a means for outputting things like image files or 3D models, or only packaged apps? Also, is there audio support? And what's the pricing model going to be like?
We have nodes for saving high-res png/jpg images, image sequences for animation/video up to 4k, obj/gltf meshes, csv/json for data and so on that we used for various projects in the past.

We will have more news about availability at a later date.

Any plans to have it generate GLSL?
I have used it for shader graphs and shadertoy like raymarching scenes.
Do you have plans to make a full programming language? if so are you working on a open standard for save file?
No need to invent new file format at the moment. Each node's code is just plain CommonJS module and graph structure is serialized to JSON.
What's with all the screenshots, videos, and PDFs? Why not simply use canvases as you describe?
