One week after Alpha v0.0.2 (Aug 17, 2025), we’re shipping Alpha v0.0.3 with a focus on data visibility, theming, agentic workflows, and quality-of-life editing. Thank you for the fast feedback loop — it’s pushing the platform forward at high speed. 💙
⚠️ Alpha quality: still not production. Please test aggressively and file issues with repro steps. We read everything.
Highlights
Fast Table Preview (Data at a glance) — #161
Quickly inspect tabular results right inside Flow-Like. The new preview is built for iteration:
- Smooth scrolling on large tables
- Column autosizing & resizing
- Sticky header and row index for orientation
- Type badges on columns to spot schema issues early
- Copy single cell / row actions for rapid debugging
Perfect for validating intermediate steps, CSVs, query results, and model outputs — without leaving your flow.
Create Your Own Theme — #219
Make Flow-Like feel like your workspace. You can now design themes end-to-end:
- Define brand colors, radii, and surface styles
- Preview changes live across nodes, pins, and panels
- Save and switch between multiple themes per workspace
Great for white-label deployments and teams that care about consistent visual language.
How-To:
- Open
Edit profile. - Select
Custom Theme. - Visit tweakcn.
- Create your theme.
- Export code for Tailwind v4 + OKLCH.
- Paste the CSS code into Flow-Like.
Simple Agent Node (formerly “Tool Calling”) — thanks @simonjanssen
PR with docs & examples: https://github.com/TM9657/flow-like/pull/180
Bring agentic behaviors into any workflow with a single node:
- Register tools (functions) the model may call
- Let the node plan → call tools → integrate results → continue
- Works with structured inputs/outputs so you can keep it typed
- Designed to chain with parsing, validation, and downstream nodes
This is a clean foundation for assistants that reason, act, and report back — right inside your graph.
HashSet Nodes — thanks @GitBrincie212 🎉
New set-oriented building blocks for concise logic:
- Create, insert, remove
contains,len,is_emptyunion,intersection,differencefor branching logic
These nodes make list de-duplication, membership checks, and set math a snap.
Drag & Drop for Pin Editing + Optimized Pin Editor
Editing pins is now direct-manipulation:
- Reorder pins via drag & drop
- Faster, cleaner editor with clearer affordances
- Reduced layout jank and improved focus handling
Together with execution & typing improvements from 0.0.2, editing complex nodes is far less fiddly.
Variable Folders
Keep large projects tidy:
- Group variables into folders
- Collapse/expand to reduce visual noise
- Search still finds variables across folders
Storage UX: Create Folders Directly — #211
No more “upload a dummy folder” workaround. You can now create folders from the storage tab in one click.
New Landing Page
We refreshed the website to better convey Flow-Like’s mission (typed, local-first workflows that scale) and to showcase the velocity of recent releases. More demos and deep dives are coming.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed focus bug in node search field — #220
- Changing a pin’s default after a connection no longer breaks the connection — #153
- “Call by reference” on nodes with many inputs now renders correctly — #128
- The Add button for pins works correctly in all cases — #172
- Layer Pins correctly connect to Generics — #208
Smaller Changes
- Color indicator added to the Variable Type selector (quicker at-a-glance parsing)
- Message Node now supports Tool Messages (richer agent/LLM interactions)
Thank you
Huge thanks to everyone filing issues, cutting PRs, and stress-testing the alpha — especially @GitBrincie212 and @simonjanssen this cycle. Keep the feedback flowing. 💙
Get it & try it
Grab installers and artifacts from the Alpha v0.0.3 release page and tell us what breaks — ideally with steps, logs, and screenshots. We’ll keep iterating fast. (GitHub)
What’s next
- Deeper type coverage across pins and edges
- Agent playground & evaluation tools
- More data views (diffs, schema checks)
- Governance & observability for enterprise workflows
Early testers shape the roadmap — your feedback directly impacts what ships next.
