NodeRed looks interesting

This does look very interesting. I love the editor they have, it is very nice. Other than that, it feels unpolished but looks promising. Huginn has many more integrations by default, for example. And it doesn't look like NodeRed persists the state of agents, so they lose their 'memory' when the node-red process is restarted. This makes stuff like scraping websites and reporting changes hard.
I'm sure there's more, but it does look very interesting. And that editor is damn sexy.
Immediate issue I saw was no users at all, completely open to the world. The editor is so pretty but. How's it licenced..? ;)
@alias1 There is no authentication by default but you can enable that in the settings. It has user support, and you can even plug in your own authentication backend. http://nodered.org/docs/security.html
Looks like they use Apache License 2.0, assuming the editor is licensed with the rest of the project https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/master/LICENSE
After some playing with node-red I also wound up just writing a mini npm module that uses MySQL as a super simple key-value store. It seems pretty nice now, but it helps I have some NodeJS experience.
