I have a use case that I tried to build something for. I am about ten iterations in, and the one I still use is an excel file, alas. I am al domain expert and not a programmer, and I just can't wrap my head around how to build it. My MVPs are below minimum, and what I want is out of reach of my capabilities.<p>I am a mechanical engineer and a big part of my job is simple high school level math. A lot of these calculations are repeated, but differ ever so slightly, that you end up with tens or hundreds excel files or python scripts.<p>What I would like to have is something that looks like UE blueprints (only know them from screenshots) where each box takes a couple inputs and gives probably just one output. I want these box to be composed of boxes itself, potentially ad infinitum. This is where my brain can't fathom how to build something like that.<p>I've build this with python functions, you can reuse them, put them in each other. But it becomes hard to maintain spaghetti. I would like the visual program to constrain the spaghetti, and to make it easy for my less programmer inclined colleagues to reuse my boxes, expand my boxes, add their own, in a visual environment.<p>There would be a box calculating the capacity of a bearing ball. This would be inside the box for a whole bearing. The bearing together with a bending shaft would be a bigger box, etc. Most of it would be a tree structure, but I don't think you can fit the whole thing in a tree, some more general linked nodes would leak out. I even build something with Flask, but my head is losing it when I tried reusable boxes, and when my tree structure needed to become more general, it was quite a big hit and I lost momentum.<p>We have visual software for very complicated finite element calculations, but none for the simple "import math" calculations.<p>The potential is huge. Many mechanical engineering work is still done in excel, and it's just impossible to scale or reuse old work. The industry does not see this as a problem because it hampers everyone equally. Only very specialised calculations are elevated and usually end up being a specialised company, or a dedicated (GUI) software package.<p>Imagine you are a programmer but there is no standard library, and no way to import code. You have to write, or copy paste, everything from scratch. All. The. Time.<p>Either I'm a dumb guy who just doesn't get it, and the industry is doing fine, or I have a hunch that could create a product that would serve a world wide, cross industry market.<p>Is this something you could do with Flyde?
