It gives makers who know Node-RED a way to program cheap boards visually, and the result is plain MicroPython that runs on the chip with no cloud behind it.
ThingStudio is a visual flow editor for microcontrollers. You connect nodes in the browser; it compiles the flow to MicroPython and sends it to the board over USB or WiFi, where it runs on its own. The maker lists ESP32 variants, RP2040 and RP2350 Picos, an nRF52840 XIAO and a Pyboard as tested on his bench. It is free, Apache-2.0, runs locally with no account, and is in beta. Uploading needs the desktop install where WebSerial is missing.
