Max,

How are you?

I have a suggestion of a small inclusion in node interface that I think would be a great improvement for usability.
To distinguish multi-purpose nodes from the more common single purpose nodes, they could have a number of dots indicating the number of options. These dots would be outlines except for chosen option which would be filled.



Multi-function nodes is one area where NE is superior to GH, and should be implemented where ever possible.
There are lots of single purpose nodes that could (should) be encapsulated into multi-purpose nodes: eg "Flip" node could flip the order of a num array, the indexing of a ptArray, the direction of a curve, and the normal of a surface. (All these nodes exist)

Ideally we want the smallest number of most powerful nodes rather than node bloat: why have 4 nodes when you can have 1 that does multi-purpose node.

Also I wonder if a menu heading "general" (as well as "Basic") may be appropriate as some of these nodes could not really be considered as basic.

Hope you are well,
James
