Thank you! It was definitely not a rational decision implementing my own node system, but I wanted to explore how they work and what challenges there are to solve.

The most difficult thing was definitely the positioning of the connections and the scaling/transforming and converting between global coordinates and local coordinates.

Would recommend trying it though, it was a lot of fun!

Did you evaluate libraries before you decided to build your own? I'm curious what you found.
I looked shortly at Rete.js but for some reason it did not immediately click for me? And I was already thinking about how to implement it myself, so I just did that.
Cool. Looks great!
