Pretty much like how scratch works but for actual stuff outside of games.
Thanks in advance.

Visual-based programming is only faster if you don’t know the language/syntax and aren’t familiar with software engineering concepts. Programming in this way is easier to *learn* for someone who doesn’t know how to program, but it’s harder to do precisely what you want to do.
It’s also typically too generalized to be useful in high performance applications. The visual coding blocks can only do specific things they are programmed to do…they can have variable input that changes some internals of the visual blocks, but every single action you want to perform must be pre-programmed.
Think of it like Reddit and its subreddits. You can make a brand new subreddit for whatever you want as long as it doesn’t break the rules of Reddit. You can even create a theme for your subreddit so it looks different than others. You can also create an AutoModerator that can respond to key words and such in certain ways or perform other basic actions. This is all relatively easy to do, but you can’t exactly change the code within your subreddit to add new features or change how basic Reddit features work….what you can do is limited by what has been implemented on Reddit.
