Did you ever want to share your nodes across all blender files, and feel it is messy to do this in a right way, here is why Node Kit comes in.

Node Kit is a convenient way to manage your nodes in Blender. You can easily save your nodes in a global preset, and then restore it to any object later on even in another blend file opening. You can also export all of your presets into a file and then import this file to another blender running in your other computers.

Images are correctly rendered in nodes

Loaded nodes are following mouse cursor

Features:

• Save current nodes into a global preset which can be used in any other opening blend file
• Restore any saved global preset into objects
• Export presets into a file
• Import preset from exported file
• Remove any preset
• Rename any preset
• Organize presets in folders
• Save selected nodes 
• Works with Blender 2.80 and above
• Support animation nodes
• Support Geometry Nodes

Note:

Start from version 1.3.0, Node Kit now use NodeKit_Library folder in home directory to mange presets instead of node_kit_default_json file. We recommend not to edit NodeKit_Library folder manually, which sometimes would cause bad file format, just use Node Kit in Blender instead.

**Note**: You don't need to backup your presets before using the latest version, if you are upgrading from old versions, the migration will be done automatically. You don't need to do anything.

IMPORTANT: Don't use slash characters in presets name, which will cause some presets not show up in the list.

How to for animation nodes:

Install the animation nodes add-on from here, https://animation-nodes.com/#download , currently I just testes with the latest version which is v2.2 Blender 3.0.0.
