Show HN: NodeCosmos – Open-source products beyond software

3 points by goran_nc 2 days ago

NodeCosmos is collaborative platform for product development - think GitHub for product. It has following main features:

Node Tree: Structure your product as a tree of components (nodes). Each node can represent a system or its components, ingredients in a recipe, or any type of constituent depending on the nature of a project: Smartphone Sample

Flows: Visually define how each node works from beginning to end, step by step - by laying out interactions between its internal components: Lightbulb Flow Sample

Real-Time Documentation: Document every Node, Flow, Step, and I/O inline with a real-time collaborative editor

Branching & Contribution Request: Propose changes to any part of the system (nodes, flows, documents, I/Os) with a visual differences and threaded feedback—just like GitHub Pull Requests. Sample CR

It's built with React frontend: https://github.com/nodecosmos/nodecosmos_client and Rust backend: https://github.com/nodecosmos/nodecosmos_server

NodeCosmos brings software development principles to broader innovation—open sourcing it next step towards community growth and wider adoption.
