We just open-sourced Magicnode , a visual builder for AI apps. It lets you create AI workflows by dragging and connecting nodes — kind of like Canva for AI apps.
What it does
Visual drag-and-drop interface for building AI workflows
Connect LLMs, APIs, and UI components without code
Export/share apps as micro-apps
Runs locally or in the cloud
Why open source?
Most AI builders are closed or proprietary. We wanted a flexible, community-driven platform where developers can:
Extend with custom nodes
Self-host without vendor lock-in
Share and reuse AI apps
Try it
Repo: https://github.com/magicnode-open/magicnode-core
Quickstart: git clone → npm install → npm run dev
We’d love feedback from HN:
What’s missing for you to use this in real projects?
Which integrations/nodes would be most useful?
How do you think we should grow the community around it?
Thanks for checking it out!
