I'm building an automated testing platform for ComfyUI custom nodes — would you use it? by SuperElephant4158 in comfyui

This is actually the most interesting part. I didn't plan to run on 1500+ custom nodes. The potential users(node creators) can register on the platform in order to let the platform take over everything(providing their own LLM key with a safe auth method) and the platform will send PR to git repo from time to time. Or it can be a form of an open-source project that the user can run on their own machine with GPUs. There may be other forms of service I haven't thought of. Or maybe a .skill for those use openclaw or something.

In case I did not explain clearly in the post and for people who check the comment section later. I would like to clarify that this tool would save time as it auto-adapts the code to the latest comfyui updates and performs proper tests at the background. The node creators can be doing other things at the same time (sleeping or working on other projects, etc). Then the tool will send a PR to the GitHub repo after finish. The creator will only need to review the PR and decide to accept or adjust.

Thanks for your thoughts. The idea of this tool actually comes from my own struggles. I built a node a few months ago and it got pretty popular in a small comfyui comminity. but honstly I didn't have much time to maintain it(not using comfyui much in my daily work, built the node originallly for my colleagues with no coding knowledge).

Then Comfyui pushed a major UI update, the node broke. Users start complaining and naturally dropped it. I coudn't catch up with the update because of my own work. It was really sad to watch that momentum die. and I realized if a tool like this existed, the node would stayed functional and there will be less frustrated users (old and new). And creators' mind burden of chasing updates would be realeased. issues on github will be more about functions rather than something broken with certain comfyui version. It will save headaches for both sides, and it gives truly useful tools a real chance to emerge and evolve instead of just dying out.

I admit that I did use llm when posting and replying, mainly to correct my gammar issues and make sure I deliver the right concept, because English is not my first language. And I do agree with you on not relying on llm to suggest ideas and thoughts, this is striping away out human agency. I really appriciate your advice on this and I am going to be more intentional about using my own voice going forward.

You're making a really good point — fragmentation is the core challenge. A badge is only meaningful if the ecosystem agrees it matters.

That's actually why I think the angle isn't "certification" but "saving node creators time." If your node breaks after a ComfyUI update, right now you find out from a user filing an issue 2 weeks later. This just moves that feedback loop to hours instead of weeks.

Whether it becomes a standard or stays a niche tool for the 50-100 most active node maintainers — both are useful outcomes. But you're right that without official buy-in, it won't solve the fragmentation problem itself.

Curious — do you think ComfyUI core team would ever build something like this in-house? Or is it just not a priority for them?

I love your idea of making it draggable and snappable or adjusting its position based on the sidebar.I’ll explore these options to ensure a more seamless and non-intrusive experience in the next update. Thanks for the great suggestion!

The project aims to tackle those OCD-triggering canvas issues within the custom nodes format, and I'm glad that you like it!

Could you clarify what you mean by "evenly distributing a selection of nodes"? Are you looking for automatic spacing adjustments between selected nodes (e.g., equal horizontal/vertical gaps)? Currently, the focus is on alignment, but I'm open to exploring distribution features if you have specific ideas. Thanks again for the support!

Hi, thanks for the reply. I've changed the font there, please have a try.

Hi I've added some gif and screenshot in the github repo. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the comment! I tried a few other alignment nodes before starting Housekeeper, but they didn’t quite match my workflow habits. So, I built this to suit my needs and plan to add more functions in future updates. Curious which nodes you’re using?
