Flowise

Started: February 09, 2024

Fork of Flowise.


What It Is

A fork of Flowise — the open-source drag-and-drop UI for building LLM flows. I use this for experimenting with LLM pipelines without writing code.

Why Fork

1. Custom modifications

Sometimes the upstream doesn't have what I need. Forking lets me add features without waiting for PRs.

2. Learning by reading

Forking forces you to understand the codebase. You can't modify what you don't understand.

3. Deployment control

Self-hosting my own version ensures availability and lets me add integrations specific to my use cases.

Key Learnings

1. No-code has limits

Visual builders are great for prototyping. Production systems still need code for edge cases.

2. LLM orchestration is complex

Chains, agents, memory, tools — lots of concepts. Flowise makes it visual but doesn't eliminate the complexity.

3. Open source is a gift

Being able to fork, learn from, and build on others' work accelerates everything.
