# Nodium

>Nodium is currently in development and is not yet ready for production use.

Nodium is an easy-to-use data analysis and automation platform built using Rust, designed to be versatile and modular. Nodium aims to provide a user-friendly visual node-based interface for various tasks.

## Getting Started

If you want to contribute to the project, you can clone the repository and run the project locally. Think about solving an issue or adding a feature.

### Prerequisites

What things you need to install the software and how to install them

* [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)

### Installing

A step by step series of examples that tell you how to get a development env running
Say what the step will be

```bash
git clone https://github.com/cherob/nodium
cd nodium
cargo run
```

## Features

* Visual node-based interface with input and output pins.
* Dynamic loading of crates and runtime imports using libloading for plugin support
* Task-based recursive computation of nodes to execute user-created graphs
* Support for sub-flows as nodes, increasing modularity
* Save and reuse flows across multiple locations
* Async programming and a robust tasking system for performance and usability

## Milestones

### Milestone 1: Basic Nodes

* [ ] Basic Input Node (Text, Number, etc.)
* [ ] Debbugging Node (Print, Log, etc.)
* [ ] Node Connection

### Milestone 2: Basic Data Manipulation

* [ ] File Node (Read, Write, etc.)
* [ ] Basic data manipulation (filter, sort, etc.)
* [ ] APIs (REST, GraphQL, etc.)
* [ ] Databases (SQL, NoSQL, etc.)
* [ ] Basic math operations (add, subtract, etc.)

### Milestone 3: Basic Data Analysis

* [ ] Machine learning processes (text, image, audio, etc.)
* [ ] Web Dashboard creation (HTML, CSS, JS, etc.)
* [ ] Machine learning training
* [ ] IoT (MQTT, UDP, TCP, etc.)
