## What it is
A Node.js-based management tool for Shadowsocks servers that adds multi-user support and traffic control on top of the manager API. It stores accounts and traffic data in SQLite or MySQL and can be deployed via npm or Docker.

## Use cases
- manage multiple shadowsocks users on one server
- track per-user shadowsocks traffic
- run a shadowsocks proxy panel
- control bandwidth and accounts across several shadowsocks servers
- self-host a shadowsocks management backend

## When to choose
- you already run shadowsocks-libev or shadowsocks-python with the manager API and need multi-user accounts
- you want traffic accounting and simple web/API management for shadowsocks nodes

## When to avoid
- you need a modern actively developed proxy panel
- you don't use shadowsocks as your proxy protocol
- you need Node.js versions newer than 12 without adaptation
