# The Lore of Nodmix 🦞📖

_A tale of open software, practical assistants, and the path to usable AI tooling._

## The Origin Story

Nodmix began as an experiment in making real task automation work for people and devices. It grew from early explorations into a polished assistant with broad platform reach.

## The Name

```
Nodmix = OPEN + CLAW
        = Open source, open to everyone
        = The lobster heritage of resilient tooling
        = Your assistant. Your machine. Your rules.
```

## The Journey

The project evolved through a few different phases before settling on the name Nodmix. Each change added reliability, channel support, and stronger privacy defaults.

The story is about growth and adaptability rather than any single version name.

## What Matters

- Simple setup and secure defaults
- Reliable cross-platform behavior
- Clear developer experience and plugin extensibility
- Respect for user privacy and device control

Nodmix is still early, but the community and platform keep moving forward together.
