N-WAVE (Nextflow Workflow Authoring and Visualization Environment) is a visual editor for Nextflow workflows. You connect nodes on a canvas (inputs, nf-core tools, operators, outputs), and N-WAVE writes the Nextflow script, runs it and shows the results.

Start here

1. Try it in the browser demo, no installation needed (building and exporting only), or install it with Docker to run workflows.
2. Build your first workflow in 10 minutes: First workflow. Or open Demo 1 on the home page and follow its tutorial.
