Issue: Request CI Setup with GitHub Actions

Description:

To improve code quality, streamline contributions, and ensure the project remains stable as it grows, it would be highly beneficial to set up Continuous Integration (CI) using GitHub Actions.

Why CI is needed for NodeBox:

  1. Automated Code Quality Checks: CI can automatically run linters (like pylint or flake8) on every pull request. This helps maintain a consistent code style and catches potential syntax or logic errors early, before they are merged into the main branch.
  2. Automated Testing: As features are added and the codebase expands, having a suite of automated tests (unit, integration) that run via CI is crucial. It ensures that new changes do not inadvertently break existing functionality, increasing confidence in the code's reliability.
  3. Build Verification: CI can automatically attempt to build the application (e.g., using pyinstaller) for different platforms. This would quickly identify issues that prevent the application from being packaged and distributed.
  4. Easier Contribution Process: For contributors, especially during events like Hacktoberfest, a clear CI status (passing/failing) on their pull requests provides immediate feedback. This makes it easier for maintainers to review and merge contributions, and for contributors to know if their changes meet the project's standards.
  5. Increased Confidence & Stability: Overall, having CI in place increases confidence in the codebase's stability and reduces the manual effort required by maintainers to verify each contribution.

Implementing CI with GitHub Actions would be a valuable step forward for the NodeBox project.
