Leanote

Self-hosted note-taking application with Markdown support and a notebook/note organizational model, similar to Evernote. Standout trait is a hybrid Go+Node history, though the project has slowed considerably in recent years.

βš™ Full Stack

Go backend API paired with a Node.js-era frontend build, storing notes and attachments in MongoDB. The mixed-language history and lack of recent refactoring show in inconsistent module boundaries.

πŸ“ˆ Scaling Analysis

The app can scale horizontally in principle since MongoDB backs shared state, but the lack of active maintenance means no attention has gone into scale-related bugs or performance work in years. Adequate for a personal or small-team self-hosted note app; not a system to bet a growing workload on.

πŸš€ Running on Nexlayer

Two pods needed β€” leanote app pod and a mongo pod at mongo.pod:27017 via Nexlayer's DNS convention β€” pulling mirror.gcr.io/library/mongo. Given the maintenance slowdown, expect to patch dependency/security issues yourself rather than relying on upstream releases.
