Let me know if you want to try to collaborate.

I'm working on the same idea, but I'm trying to take it several steps further by letting any syntactic programming language be rendered, edited, and run as no-code.

This is a response to my observation that the limit to the growth of these things is that they always have "meh" editors because the editor and the programming language are tightly coupled -- right now if there are ten visual programming languages there are ten different visual programming language editors.

This is probably the biggest reason these tools don't catch on professionally: you can't learn the editor tool and take that skill with you to a new language/project as you can with a text editor and syntactic languages. Fortunately this is the problem I have solved.
