SilverBullet

Personal knowledge base and note-taking app that stores everything as plain markdown files, with a client-side page indexer and plug-in scripting system. Runs as a single Deno process, making it exceptionally simple to self-host.

Notes/Docs TypeScript (Deno) Easy to deploy $10/mo equiv
70.5 / 100

βš™ Full Stack

Single Deno process serving both the API and a rich client-side editor (CodeMirror-based), persisting notes as plain markdown files on disk with a SQLite-backed search index.

πŸ“ˆ Scaling Analysis

Built explicitly for single-user, single-instance use β€” there's no multi-user concurrency model, so 'scaling' here means running more independent instances per user rather than scaling one instance's capacity.

πŸš€ Running on Nexlayer

Single-pod deployment with a persistent volume for the markdown space; no external DB pod required. Mirror the Deno-based image via mirror.gcr.io and set the SB_FOLDER env var to the mounted volume path.
