While group nodes can seem useful for organizing nodes hierarchically, their actual use often leads to issues. Here are some of the major flaws I aimed to address: + - **Instability with primitive nodes**: Primitive nodes are often dropped when grouped, making them ineffective in complex workflows. + - **Issues with dynamic nodes**: Dynamic nodes, such as those with switches or conditional behaviors, tend to lose connections when grouped. + - **Incompatibility with ControlNet**: When integrating ControlNet nodes into group nodes, the order of inputs and outputs is crucial to avoid reversing results. + - **Complex node maintenance**: Managing nodes in ComfyUI can quickly become overwhelming, especially when you need to modify the same function multiple times. + +By solving these problems, my tool makes node management more intuitive, stable, and efficient, allowing you to focus on what matters: creating. + ## 🚀 Updates **2024.11.01 Initial version features :** - 💪 Convert your workflows into nodes @@ -34,10 +44,15 @@ This repository includes a set of custom nodes for ComfyUI that allow you to: ## 🔗 requirements -- **comfyui**: Be sure to have a ComfyUI front-end version of at least 1.3.11.
