## What it is
Flare is a lightweight, high-performance self-hosted bookmark navigation (start page) application written in Go, distributed as a tiny Docker image under 10MB. It stores bookmarks in open text/YAML files with no database dependency, supports online editing, and runs on x86 and ARM devices with minimal resource usage.

## Use cases
- self-host a personal start page for my homelab
- manage hundreds of bookmarks behind a lightweight dashboard
- replace Flame with a faster, lower-resource navigation page
- host a bookmark dashboard on a low-power ARM box
- keep bookmark data in plain files I fully control
- run a private navigation page in Docker

## When to choose
- you want an extremely lightweight start page with <30MB memory usage
- you prefer file-based, database-free bookmark storage you own
- you need to run on weak hardware like old ARM devices
- you want a Flame-like UI with better performance and simpler weather setup

## When to avoid
- you need rich plugins, themes, or integrations beyond a start page
- you want multi-user bookmark syncing across browsers
- you need a full bookmark manager with tagging and search features
