When ChatGPT was first released, my expectations were quite low. I had grown accustomed to the usual industry buzz for AI and ML that often led to underwhelming solutions. Naturally, I approached ChatGPT with similar reservations. It wasn't until a few months after its announcement that I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, within just 10 minutes, I found myself so captivated that I decided to purchase the pro version.

As we continue to add features to the Node-RED Dashboard v2 one feature request that came in was to track which users had visited a Dashboard. Multi user support for the Dashboard is on the backlog but this could be solved with the parts that are currently available.

It's been a little while since we've done an update, since we last posted we've moved into the 0.7.x releases for Dashboard 2.0. With these we're making big strides in improving the UX for charting your data, as well as starting to focus on migration paths from Dashboard 1.0 to 2.0.

Welcome to the FlowFuse newsletter for November 2023, a monthly roundup of what’s been happening with FlowFuse and the wider Node-RED community.

In the early days when I was working as a solution architect, I found myself in a peculiar position, observing an intriguing relationship between Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) departments. While OT departments struggled to develop digital solutions, the IT departments held an unspoken authority in this domain, leading to a paradoxical dynamic that often seemed to hinder rather than facilitate progress.

We are thrilled to introduce a new feature for our Teams and Enterprise Tier customers - Certified Nodes for Node-RED. This new offering is designed to reinforce your flows's robustness by granting you access to Node-RED nodes that stand up to our rigorous quality and security standards.

Manufacturing companies often struggle to choose between building custom MES solutions or buying ready-made software. Both options have their strengths, but they can fall short of providing the flexibility and control engineers need. A hybrid approach—combining the best of both worlds—is changing the game. In this article, we’ll explore how Node-RED and FlowFuse make it easier to create MES systems that are efficient, adaptable, and perfectly suited to your needs.

On October 11th, 2023, we had an issue where users were not able to access the Node-RED editor, recieving a 'Access Denied' error message. This post examines the issue that was hit, the timeline of events and what we've done to resolve it.

Starting today, FlowFuse Blueprints are available on FlowFuse Cloud. Additionally, upon request, all our Teams and Enterprise Self-Hosted customers gain access to this collection. But what exactly are FlowFuse Blueprints?

With a new release, comes new features for Dashboard 2.0, and the focus of this release has been on improving the developer experience for those building third-party widgets for Dashboard 2.0.

Welcome to the FlowFuse newsletter for October 2023, a monthly roundup of what’s been happening with FlowFuse and the wider Node-RED community.

With version 1.12 of FlowFuse, it is now possible to use your custom nodes. In this article, we'll explain how to do that.

Vuetify is a library of UI components using Vue. This saves the developers of Dashboard 2.0 a lot of time, but it can also help you, the end-user. As Vuetify is now included, it can be used to include any of their components. So in this post we're going to use a few of these to teach you how to use any of them.

Following our rename to FlowFuse last month, we are about to take the next set of steps to complete the rebrand. This time, focussed on the technical assets we produce.

ChatGPT has the potential to have a significant impact on the Node-RED community. It is a powerful language model that can be used to generate flows, interpret them, and provide documentation, maybe soon even write the flow! The combination of ChatGPT, or generative AI at large, with Node-RED can significantly improve the developer experience with Node-RED. In this post we’ll review what the community has already built.
