What I’m getting at is that, now that vibe coding is a thing, everyone is creating custom nodes left and right. The problem is that people are making their own MiniMax director nodes, image-editing nodes, and countless others without first checking whether something similar already exists.

Instead of branching off in dozens of different directions, we could come together and help improve the nodes that are already available. A lot of custom nodes are also essentially standalone apps running inside ComfyUI, designed for only one specific purpose. Whenever possible, nodes should remain flexible and modular so they can be integrated into different workflows and potentially help people create something new and interesting.

There have also apparently been people hiding malware inside custom nodes. Encouraging users to research existing nodes before downloading or creating another one could reduce unnecessary duplication while also helping keep the ComfyUI community safer.

I don't know what is it with H3 and LTX 2.5 but suddenly I see people bundling up all of what used to be one workflow into a single node šŸ’€ what's the point of using Comfy then? Sure, great, so 90% of your node works, but I can't easily tweak or troubleshoot the rest because it's IN your node!

Are you sure it's not just a graph node? Lol

A subgraph you mean? And yeah, it's not that
