## What it is
pico is a suite of SSH-powered developer services including static site hosting (pgs), localhost tunnels (tuns), SSH pub/sub pipes, a markdown blog platform (prose), pastebin, and RSS-to-email. All services are operated using standard tools like ssh, scp, rsync, and sftp with no extra client installation.

## Use cases
- deploy a static site with rsync
- expose localhost to the internet over https
- publish a blog from the terminal with markdown
- share code snippets via ssh
- send rss feed updates to my email
- stream data between machines over ssh pubsub

## When to choose
- you want zero-install deployments using only ssh, scp, or rsync
- you prefer a terminal-centric workflow for hosting content
- you need quick public https tunnels to localhost
- you want a minimal markdown blog or pastebin with no tooling

## When to avoid
- you need dynamic server-side application hosting or databases
- you require full control over infrastructure or self-hosting every component
- you need large-scale storage beyond the free/paid limits
- your team requires GUI-based deployment pipelines
