Awesome Node-RED !Awesome (https://awesome.re/badge.svg) (https://awesome.re)
 
Curated list of useful resources for Node-RED.
 
Node-RED (https://nodered.org/) is a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.
 
It provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette that can be deployed to its runtime in a single-click.
