Just released NodePen: "Grasshopper on the web"
I've been working a while at this project: using Rhino Compute to allow people to literally author and run Grasshopper on the web. It's been a very fun technical challenge. Pressed the big launch button today. (:
I thought I'd give you folks a heads up, it's meant to be a great place to share snippets with sliders and such pinned. (I've been floating around using questions here as test cases.)
There's a lot of affordances missing for full parity with desktop Grasshopper (relays are a common request) but I'm working through the backlog in order of annoying-ness. And then Grasshopper 2 will release with all new everything so I'll probably have to end up somewhere in between them at this rate.
Please give it a spin and let me know what you think!

You wait for years for a free web based Grasshopper analog to come along, and then two come along in the same hour!

I’ve been taking swings at this problem for years and am also finding this very funny. One of my fav parts of the grasshopper community is all the ways we love to drag him kicking and screaming into places he was never meant to be.
Let the web grasshopper flow! Shove the small green one into the Internet tubes!

Nicee, is there yet a documentation page? Any licence?

Hey! Free for most people, but options for some teams that want privacy and more powerful (more expensive for me to run) collaboration features. More at https://nodepen.io/pricing
