The Laboratory is Open
Where we experiment with making workflow automation work better for the people doing it.
See Current Experiments →Built from Real Observations
We work with JobFlow Pro users every day. Prepress operators, ISTs, developers building automation workflows. We watch how they work. We see where they struggle. We ask why.
Sometimes the answer is a new workflow pattern. Sometimes it's a visualization that makes the invisible visible. Sometimes it's rethinking how information surfaces so you don't need a manual open to understand your own canvas.
These aren't random features. They're solutions.
Current Experiments
Latest packages solving real problems discovered in production workflows.
System Pressure Monitor
One composite score (0-100%) shows exactly how stressed your system is. Event loop utilization, delays, memory, and throughput combined into a single gauge. Like a fuel gauge for Node-RED.
Msg Peek
See your data instantly—right on the canvas. Auto-detects the best format: charts for arrays, tables for objects, JSON for complex data. No more debug panel hunting.
Package Manager
Visual card-based UI replacing text lists. Smart caching for speed, better search and filtering. Browse packages like an app store instead of reading a phone book.
Flow Visualizer
Makes message flow visible in real-time. Wire thickness and color show throughput and payload size instantly. No more debugging in the dark.
How We Work
Transparent
We share what we're building, why we're building it, and what didn't work.
Open
We contribute back when we can. Good ideas shouldn't be locked away.
Honest
No exaggerations. No fluff. If it doesn't solve a real problem, we don't build it.
