I need a better introduction to understand how flow programming works, and how I might use it. Instead I see a (seemingly) complex graph which I understand represents a program, but it's not clear how this really works in relation to text programming. I could spend hours and hours digging to figure it out, but that could be a waste of time, so I won't do it.

I get text based programming. Find a way to quickly connect that experience with flow programming, and conversion rate on this site will improve.

This is still beta, so we're mostly trying to reach people who already are doing flow-based or other dataflow programming.

But agreed that we could probably explain things better! Does the description of the concept at http://noflojs.org/ work for you?

If anyone is in the mood to spend some time learning about flow-based programming works, there is a lot of material here: http://www.reddit.com/r/DataflowProgramming/
