Noodl is back — First look at the new editor (NodeGX Alpha)

Noodl is back — this time as an open-source, community-driven editor called NodeGX.

If you used Noodl before, this 30-minute tour walks through what's changed, what's stayed the same, and why now's the time to kick the tires.

I'm looking for testers. This is an early alpha — things will break, feedback is genuinely wanted, and the best way to shape where this goes is to try it and tell me what's wrong.

If you built things in the original Noodl, your instincts will mostly transfer — but there are real differences worth knowing before you dive in, covered in this video.
