Introducing: Node Deck 
What is it?
Node Deck is a fast visual node browser for Blender's Geometry Nodes editor. It provides a palette based workflow for browsing, searching, favoriting, and placing nodes without digging through Blender's standard Add menu.
Designed for artists and technical users alike, Node Deck keeps commonly used nodes within immediate reach, helping speed up node creation and reduce interruptions while building Geometry Nodes systems.
Designed for speed
Node Deck adds an interactive palette directly inside the Node Editor, combining visual browsing, searchable catalogs, favorites, recents, and drag-and-drop placement into a single streamlined workflow.
Use it as a fixed palette for instant access to nodes at all times, or switch to popup mode when you prefer a hotkey-driven workflow that stays out of the way until needed.
