I've been checking out the Opennexus developers site and it's an interesting idea. The protocol is about making software development easier and more modular which can then be snaped together to build bigger and better things.. It's like building with blocks where each block is specific function or piece of data. You than connect these nodes to create anything. I dug into the playground mode and got sucked in to screwing around way longer than I intended.playground to experiment with nodes. It's clear that they're aiming to make development easier even for those who don't code. I only stoped playing cuz I have to go to work.

Hey! Thanks for spending time with the playground – we're glad you found it engaging! You've hit the nail on the head with the "building blocks" analogy.

We want to emphasize that while Open Node Protocol enables no-code development, it's absolutely not limited to it. The Open Node Protocol is a specification, a set of standards for how these "blocks" (nodes) interact. Developers can build nodes in any programming language and with any framework they choose. The visual assembly is just one way to use ONP; the underlying power comes from the standardized communication between nodes, regardless of how they're built or connected. This means experienced developers can create highly sophisticated, code-based nodes and leverage the benefits of modularity and AI integration at a much deeper level. Think of it as a way to create reusable, interoperable components, regardless of whether you're connecting them visually or programmatically. In fact, in the near future, you can ask AI to assemble the nodes for you.

A great next step would be to check out our tutorial[1] – it walks you through the core concepts and helps you build your first node.
