Oh, and the author also fails to point out that there are NFTs which go beyond simply representing ownership. They are used for unlocking premium content, making game assets portable across games, acting as a proxy for real-world assets and many other use cases not yet as high profile as art and sports NFTs.
One oft-overlooked aspect of NFTs is their scarcity and authenticity by virtue of license rights. For instance, NBATopShot moments are desirable because they are licensed by the NBA. So if you were to clone great basketball moments and create an alternate, it would neither be authentic nor legal.
Looks promising, but it's hard to tell without a more full-featured demo.
I'm comparing this to Node-RED [0] which is pretty robust and has a large ecosystem. Ultimately, I think the value in diagramming platforms is not just in the software, but the community around it that creates plugins/extensions for different use-cases.
