nakui
Excel-style reactive engine, on solid principles — exact
Decimal, topological cascade, WAL, time-travel — in Rust, with a Llimphi UI.
nakui is a spreadsheet with a head: exact Decimal (not f64), topological-order cascade, WAL before applying, atomic invariants, and time-travel via immutable history. Three views over the same token graph — matrix (classic Excel), graph (dependency DAG) and form (single record) — guided by the schema's view_hint. Long-term it is a DAG token engine, foundation for verticals (Fintech, IAM, Logistics, MedTech).
one shell, three views — live spreadsheet (yupay formulas) · ERP dashboard · dependency graph
Run
cargo run --release -p nakui-ui-llimphi # the ERP/sheet/graph shell
cargo run --release -p nakui-sheet-llimphi # the matrix (spreadsheet) view
cargo run --release -p nakui-explorer-llimphi # the token-graph / event-log explorer
Install
cargo build --release

Crates
| Crate | Role |
|---|---|
nakui-core |
Engine: tokens, schema, DAG, cascade, WAL; Rhai executor + optional SurrealDB. |
nakui-backend |
GUI-agnostic backend: MemoryStore + EventLog + executors, WAL/snapshot recovery. |
nakui-sheet |
Matrix view: ranges, cells, formulas, pivot engine. |
nakui-sheet-nakuicore |
nakui-sheet ↔ nakui-core event-log bridge. |
nakui-sheet-llimphi |
Matrix (spreadsheet) UI on Llimphi. |
nakui-ui-llimphi |
UI shell — view selector, sidebar, the four meta-views. |
nakui-explorer-llimphi |
Token-graph / event-log explorer. |
yupay-core |
Excel-style formula engine: lex / parse / eval, bilingual (es/qu/en). |
yupay-fns |
Function catalog (SUMA, BUSCARV, SI…) over yupay-core. |
Production modules live in 01_yachay/nakui/modules/ — crm, inventory, sales, treasury: Nickel schema (schema.ncl) + Rhai morphisms, executed by the nakui-core executor kernel.
How dependencies work
nakui is a full app: its UI integrates the meta-runtime, panels and content-addressed sources. Llimphi and every foundational dependency are pulled as git dependencies from the tawasuyu monorepo — the suite's source of truth. The engine crates (nakui-core, nakui-sheet, yupay-core, yupay-fns) are pure compute; only the *-llimphi crates pull the GPU UI stack.
Considerations
- No
f64. ExactDecimalthroughout the engine; numeric format lives in the view, not the data. - WAL before mutate. Every operation goes through the log; in-memory data only changes once the WAL is synced.
- Not Excel. No formula compatibility with XLSX; forms and the graph are first-class, not addons.
