I really like the concept, and think that visual programming is a great way to help understand data flows (I'm a big Node RED fan).

I wouldn't make the claim that this is usable by business managers; if one of the goals of this tool is to make it business-focused then you might want to add an abstraction and front-end it with BPMN as that's the general language understood by most folks familiar with process mapping. Check out Camunda's modeler for an example (https://camunda.com/products/modeler/). I have quite a bit of experience in this space as working with business-focused modeling tools and then building the full solution has been my career for the last 5+ years.

Hmm I don’t know how to put it, but in my opinion GraphQL is less complex than BPMN. I have a friend who works a lot with BPMN and for me it’s too complicated. We had been in product market fit with sloth king editor which has an abstraction over APIs. Later many people told us to connect it with GraphQL because many people use it already. I appreciate your opinion, but I think we are going in direction where business managers need to learn new tool. Thank you.
