[Haskell-cafe] Study GUI and FRP sequentially or concurrently? Superimposing graphics and text.

[Stephen Tetley]

Hi Jeffrey

You might want to take a serious look at Blobs:

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Blobs-0.3/src/

Almost certainly it will have bit-rotted, but when it was active it
would definitely have been the best starting point for a "boxes and
arrows" editor.

Best wishes

Stephen
