+
+**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). |
+
+---
+
+## 🧱 Core Components
+
+| Component | Role |
+|----------|------|
+| **Flask Server** | Hosts API endpoints and serves the React frontend |
+| **React Flow UI** | Visual canvas for building and managing workflows |
+| **Python Virtual Env** | Encapsulates dependencies, avoids global installs |
+| **Shared Value Bus** | All nodes communicate via `window.BorealisValueBus` |
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Getting Started
+
+### Windows:
+```powershell
+# Windows - Launch Borealis Server and/or Agent
+# To Launch borealis itself, you can just right-click the "Launch-Borealis.ps1" file and select "Run with Powershell", or alternatively, run the command seen below, either in the same powershell session as the first command, or in its own non-administrative session.
+Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process; .\Launch-Borealis.ps1
+```
+### Linux:
+-# Detailed explanations of how to get things working in Linux is not given at this time, but its mostly automated during the deployment, and only requires a single script to be ran.
+```sh
+# Linux / macOS
+bash Launch-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(`/`)"
+      middlewares:
+        - cors-headers
+
+  middlewares:
+    cors-headers:
+      headers:
+        accessControlAllowOriginList:
+          - "*"
+        accessControlAllowMethods:
+          - GET
+          - POST
+          - OPTIONS
+        accessControlAllowHeaders:
+          - Content-Type
+          - Upgrade
+          - Connection
+        accessControlMaxAge: 100
+        addVaryHeader: true
+
+  services:
+    borealis:
+      loadBalancer:
+        servers:
+          - url: "http://192.168.3.254:5000"
+        passHostHeader: true
+```
