Thanks for raising this here Zag.
That gap I would really like to find a way to fill is that as a user having found an example node (on wiki or foum post etc.) that does something I want there is no easy way to get it from my browser into my Kodi menu in the place I choose. It currently entails the copying and pasting of files (trivial on Windows but, as I found recently, more a fiddle on my RPi based lounge system), and for many users that is too hard. Otherwise I have to work through the node editor recreating the example rule/component at a time
The other gap is an organised and accessible way to show users examples they might like. Often they don't even know what is possible to know that they want to look for it. We have a forum thread, but the examples do get hard to find in the jumble of discussion.
Smart playlists are in the same situation.
But true is could be feature creep for the node editor to do this. Fancy looking at creating a separate addon?
