In Nodezator's dev branch: changed the magnetic sockets feature to make it closer to what I envisioned originally: the nodes had hands and would help you by grabbing the new connection for you.

The hands are CC0 assets from the excellent

No guys, hear me out, we might be onto something here! What about tracking eyes that become happy when the connection is reached out? (also in Nodezator's dev branch)

Okay, you asked, and now there's a hand near the mouse to meet the one on the nearby socket as well. Thank you all for the suggestions so far. (already on Nodezator's dev branch as well). #Python #nodeeditor

In case you didn't know, Nodezator is a generalist Python node editor. Open-source proudly dedicated to the public domain. It is a serious project but still has a long way to go (it is quite useable already though).

And, of course, if you wish to support my work on it, I have a patreon for recurrent donations, Github sponsors for one-time donations and other options that you can find here: indiepython.com/donate.html

I even went and made a website for it upon its release a couple years ago. It is not much, but it is honest work. Nodezator is a project that is truly near and dear to my heart ❤️

Also to the people scared of the nodes/grabby hands: don't worry users will be able to fully customize this behaviour, including the ability to get rid of them, leaving only the socket proximity detection. After all, they may be distracting to some.

After all, the nodes are harmless.

Just make sure not to turn your back to them when they are on the screen.

Final version is very similar, but decided to hide the cursor. Now I use the hand that extends from the 1st socket like a cursor, instead of having it offset behind the cursor as before.

Thank you all for the feedback, specially

Been actually working on other things but had an idea for another variant yesterday and didn't want to waste it (already in Nodezator's dev branch).

This time the cursor is a baseball #Python #nodeeditor
