ComfyUI community pleads: ship a vanilla minimal workflow with your custom nodes

kemb0 · reddit · 2026-10-15

Reddit user kemb0 has a request for ComfyUI custom node and workflow authors: stop shipping massive do-everything workflows with hundreds of nodes and nested subgraphs. New users just face spaghetti cabling and red broken nodes before they can even begin to understand the work. Instead, include a vanilla minimal workflow demonstrating only the core capability, so users can identify the nodes and learn them before transitioning to the complex version. The author lists what to strip: speed-up tweaks like sage attention, non-critical loras, buried nodes and cabling, combine-and-load helper nodes, upscaling, and anything marked "optional." The core argument: thinking about user experience is what earns adoption.
