## What it is
Raneto is a free, open-source Markdown-powered knowledge base and wiki for Node.js. It serves file-based Markdown content with full-text search via Lunr.js, a built-in browser editor, and optional login protection, with no database required.

## Use cases
- host a self-hosted internal wiki
- build a documentation site from markdown files
- create a product knowledge base without a database
- edit documentation pages in the browser
- add full-text search to markdown docs
- version-control documentation with git

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, file-based markdown wiki with no database
- you need built-in full-text search and a browser editor
- you want to self-host documentation with Docker or Node.js
- you prefer content stored as plain markdown files in git

## When to avoid
- you need multi-user role-based permissions or rich WYSIWYG editing
- you want a full static site generator pipeline rather than a running server
- you need database-backed content or enterprise CMS features
