"pd -nogui"

seriously, there have been numerous efforts and solutions to use
different guis for pd.
basically there are 2 different approaches:
the simple one is using FUDI/OSC to remote control an invisible pd;
personally i use this a lot with remote-controlling pd with another pd;
projects that use other toolkits include GriPD and the 2 browser plugins
for pd.
the other approach tries to have a better separation between
audio-kernel and pd-gui (which unfortunately are very much
interdependent in the current state of the pd codebase); the most
notable of these projects is DesireData.
