The Brains@Play Framework allows anyone to compose interactive, high-performance web applications and contribute to an ecosystem of copyleft software infrastructure for open-source application development on the Web.
Work on the Brains@Play Framework has been discontinued since September 2023. While this project was originally centered on uniform access to biosensing devices on the Brains@Play Platform, we began translating this monolithic project into standalone libraries to simplify biosensing application development.
With the best of intentions, we ultimately abandoned our core product and failed to secure sustainable funding. The resources linked below are a record of this stage of the organization.
🔮 Low Code: Our browser-based studio makes it easy to wire together your application logic using the visualscript library.
🧩 Familiar: We don't lock users into unnecessary abstractions. Just format code files as ES Modules!
⚡ Performant: High-performance event-based logic using the graphscript library.
🌐 Social: Derivative components can be published as NPM packages and registered on the components library to be shared with the world.
📜 Radically Open: This library is licensed under the AGPL license. All derivatives are also free and open-source software!
If we don't have something you'd like to see within this framework, feel free to propose your idea in the Issues tab!

This project was maintained by Garrett Flynn and Joshua Brewster.
The main branch of this repository contains the latest releases of core libraries in The Brains@Play Framework.
The nightly branch hosts regular changes between official releases.
The legacy branch contains a record of the original brainsatplay library (<= v0.0.36), which is used in the Brains@Play Platform.
