+Brane is aimed at usability for domain specialized, who may not necessarily be computer scientists or engineers.
+As such, the current command-line tool is not ideal for this target audience. A Jupyter notebook plugin does exist, but only solves the problem partially, as it still requires code to create workflows and does not handle package mangement.
+This while workflows are, by their graph-like nature, very good candidates to create user-friendly, no-code interfaces for.
+
+This project aims to investigate if a no-code development environment can be created for easy domain-scientist access to Brane. This is what you'd be doing:
+1. Investigate which solutions already exist to graphically create workflows and if they can be used somehow (albeit through translations via e.g. plugins) or instead serve as inspiration.
+2. Develop a new development environment for creating BraneScript workflows based on a graphical interface.
+3. Add support for importing & inspecting Brane packages to this interface.
