Raneto
A minimalist, flat-file markdown knowledge base with no database dependency. Its standout trait is radical simplicity — articles are just markdown files on disk, making version control trivial via git.

⚙ Full Stack
Node.js/Express server rendering markdown files from a flat-file content directory into a searchable wiki UI; no database at all — content, categories, and search index all derive from the filesystem.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Flat-file storage caps horizontal scaling — without a shared filesystem, each replica would diverge, and there is no transactional guarantee against concurrent-write corruption, making it best suited to single-instance, low-write-volume deployments rather than internet scale.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Single-pod deploy with a persistent volume mounted for the content directory; since there's no database, backup strategy is simply snapshotting or git-syncing that volume. Fine for a single replica, but multiple replicas need a shared/ReadWriteMany volume since content isn't centralized in a datastore.
