Our mission is to enable visual programming as a viable method of software development
Despite the fact that visual programming is a significantly more user-friendly method of software development, text-based programming languages still dominate software industry today. This is because no practical and powerful enough visual language is proposed so far. We want to disrupt this status quo.
Inspiration
Graphical User Interface (GUI) fundamentally transformed personal computing. Before GUI, users interacted with computers using command-line interfaces, which required memorizing and typing complex commands. GUI made computers far more accessible and intuitive by allowing users to interact with visual icons, windows, and menus using a mouse or other pointing devices. However, visual programming still did not get even close to the level of GUI usability, and text-based programming languages hold a dominant position in the software development industry today as a result. Our aspiration is replicating GUI success to software development field by creating an advanced general-purpose visual programming language.
Vision
Manual coding, AI assistance, low-code, and visual programming don't solve software development problems alone, but together they're transformative. The integration model remains unrealized because visual programming is the weakest link — no practical general-purpose VPL exists. Yet visual programming is the key connector, the architectural layer making other approaches comprehensible and interoperable. Pipe solves this by providing the first practical VPL designed as integration infrastructure. By addressing fundamental challenges of visual programming, Pipe unlocks full potential of multi-approach software development. Developers can architect visually, integrate AI code, wrap manual implementation, and compose low-code components in unified workflows. Pipe transforms visual programming from weakest vertex to strongest connector, enabling true orchestration. The future is software orchestration, and Pipe is the integration layer making it possible.
