**Borealis** is a cross-platform **visual automation platform** that lets you design and execute workflows using drag-and-drop "nodes" in an interactive graph. Think of it like building a flowchart that actually **runs** — in real-time.
|
|
|
|
Powered by a Flask backend and a React Flow frontend, Borealis is perfect for anyone looking to automate tasks, visualize data processing, or build reactive tools using a modular, extensible system.

## ✨ Key Features
|
|
|
|
| Feature | Description |
|
|
|--------|-------------|
|
|
| 🧠 **Visual Editor** | Intuitive graph-based UI powered by React Flow. Nodes represent data, logic, or actions. |
|
|
| ⚙️ **Dynamic Node Updates** | All nodes react to data changes live using a shared memory bus and global update timer. |
|
|
| 🔗 **Live Connections** | Connect nodes via "wires" to transmit values in real time — no refresh needed. |
|
|
| 🖼️ **On-Screen GUI Interactions** | Supports custom Python-based GUI prompts, like on-screen region selectors. |
|
|
| 🔍 **OCR and Vision Support** | Use EasyOCR and Tesseract to extract data from screenshots or webcam feeds. |
|
|
| 🧩 **Custom Node Support** | Easily define your own nodes using JSX — each one modular and reactive. |
|
|
| 🚀 **Cross-Platform** | Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS (via provided `.sh` and `.ps1` launch scripts). |

## ⚡ Getting Started
|
|
|
|
### Windows:
|
|
To Launch borealis itself, you can just right-click the "`Borealis.ps1`" file and select "`Run with Powershell`". You may be warned about Execution Policy restrictions. Just say "Y" to continue or "A" if you dont want to be warned about running untrusted scripts in the future.
|
|
|
|
### Linux:
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Linux / macOS
|
|
bash Borealis.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**The launch script will**:
|
|
- :snake: Create a virtual Python environment
|
|
- :package: Install all required Python + JS dependencies (Bundled in Windows / Installed in Linux)
|
|
- :atom: Build the React app
|
|
- :globe_with_meridians: Launch the Flask web server
|

## 🧠 How It Works
|
|
|
|
Borealis workflows run on **live data propagation**. Each node checks for incoming values (via edges) and processes them on a recurring timer (default: 200ms). This allows for highly reactive, composable logic graphs.
|
|
|
|
## ⚡Reverse Proxy Configuration
|
|
If you want to run Borealis behind a reverse proxy (e.g., Traefik), you can set up the following dynamic configuration:
|
|
```yml
|
|
http:
|
|
routers:
|
|
borealis:
|
|
entryPoints:
|
|
- websecure
|
|
tls:
|
|
certResolver: letsencrypt
|
|
service: borealis
|
|
rule: "Host(`borealis.bunny-lab.io`) && PathPrefix(`/`)"
