Hosted Chuck Driesler to discuss Nodepen, an open source project he has been developing to create a web-based version of Grasshopper. He provided a history of the project, which started in 2018 and has gone through multiple revisions. The current version utilizes Speckle technology to handle the 3D geometry and visualization, allowing Chuck to focus on the node-based logic and interaction. Key topics covered include leveraging React for fast rendering, integrating Grasshopper computation on the backend, and designing an intuitive user interface. While Nodepen started as a way to recreate Grasshopper online, it has now evolved into a more flexible visual programming environment. Chuck outlined his goals to simplify sharing and collaboration around Grasshopper scripts, support open source contributions, and explore capabilities beyond desktop Grasshopper.
