SillyTavern
A locally-run frontend for LLM-based character roleplay and chat, supporting many backend model providers. Its standout trait — and biggest weakness — is that it ships with no authentication by default, designed purely for single-user local use.

⚙ Full Stack
Node.js server serving a browser-based chat UI, storing chat logs and character cards as flat JSON files on disk, and proxying requests to user-configured LLM backends (OpenAI-compatible APIs, Ollama, etc.).
📈 Scaling Analysis
Explicitly a single-user, local-first tool with flat-file storage and no session/auth model — it was never designed to scale beyond one instance per user and would need a substantial security and data-layer rewrite to serve multiple tenants safely.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
If deployed on Nexlayer, this should never be exposed publicly without adding an authentication proxy pod in front — the app itself has no login wall. LLM backend calls should go to `ollama.pod:11434` or similar internal pods rather than baking API keys into client-visible config.
