Wanted to share with the community what I have done so far regarding my program viewer app. The main idea was to display Nord Stage 3 program settings (ns3f files) without any download (no Nord Stage required, no Nord Sound Manager app required). Program sheet can then be saved as pdf file. Nord Stage 2 support is added too.
Online version: https://ns3-program-viewer.cyclic.app
Offline versions:
- Windows: https://github.com/Chris55/ns3-program-viewer/releases
- Mac: AppStore - https://apps.apple.com/app/id1549939673
- Linux: https://github.com/Chris55/ns3-program-viewer/releases
NS2 & NS3 file format documentation: https://chris55.github.io/ns3-program-viewer
Updates:
- Dec 2020: NS2 is also included now! (ns2p files)
- Jan 2021: Offline version now available as standalone desktop application for Windows and Mac
- Mar 2021: Added NS3 synth file support (ns3y)
- May 2021: Offline version available for Linux distribution x64 and ARM for Debian/Ubuntu (*.deb) and Fedora/SUSE (*.rpm)
- Jun 2021: Added NS2 synth file support (ns2s), and new Smart feature (highlight in red any setting that is different from the INIT values)
- Oct 2021: Added bundle and backup files support (ns3b, ns3fb, ns3synthpb, ns3sbundle, ns2pb, ns2exb, ns2b, ns2synthpb files). File collection are listed as on Nord Sound Manager

My questions would be:
- is it acceptable to publish this web site, or should it stay private? Should I ask Nord?
- the source code is private for now as the file format is undocumented, I'm not sure if I can publish it.
answering to myself
I contacted Nord and here the answer:
I talked to the guys here, and it is fine with us for you to proceed with this project - as long as you accompany your published work with a disclaimer that Clavia in no way is affiliated with it. We will not be able to provide any assistance with this, but good luck nonetheless!
