<h2>What is Snek?</h2>
<p>
Snek is a professional-grade, privacy-centric web community and collaboration platform. It is engineered for individuals and organizations that demand uncompromising reliability, security, and performance. Snek is serious software, designed and built with the rigor and attention to detail found in world-class engineering.
Snek is a privacy-driven web community and collaboration platform built with rigorous attention to reliability and operational clarity. Security, stability, and ease of use are foundational—there is no tolerance for unnecessary complexity or distractions.
</p>
<p>
The platform supports modern protocols for seamless integration. Connect via WebDAV (<strong>davs://molodetz.online/webdav</strong>) or SFTP (<strong>sftp://molodetz.online:2242</strong>) with your Snek credentials—no additional setup required. All storage is subject to fair use policy (FUP).
Onboarding is immediate: connect via WebDAV (<strong>davs://molodetz.online/webdav</strong>) or SFTP (<strong>sftp://molodetz.online:2242</strong>) using your Snek-issued credentials. Storage policies are governed by fair-use principles and subject to moderation to ensure operational integrity.
</p>
<p>
Repository management is centralized and straightforward via the settings interface. Editing sent texts is intentionally disabled: Snek enforces conscious and deliberate communication. Consideration is a feature, not a byproduct.
Repository management is centralized via user settings. Message editing is purposefully disabled by default to preserve communication fidelity and accountability.
</p>
<p>
Snek is built on <strong>aiohttp</strong>, a high-performance asynchronous web framework, and leverages a custom ORM for data integrity. Every data operation is validated at a single source of truth. Deployment is trivial—installable in one command. Optional Docker support is available for containerized environments. Snek uses <strong>SQLite</strong> for data storage by default, optimized for speed and reliability, and is PostgreSQL-ready for scale.
The platform leverages <strong>aiohttp</strong> for high-performance asynchronous operations, coupled with a bespoke ORM ensuring data integrity and consistency. All validation is centralized for maximum efficiency. Deployment is streamlined—single-command provisioning and full Docker support are standard. <strong>SQLite</strong> is the default database for simplicity, with <strong>PostgreSQL</strong> available for advanced requirements.
</p>
<p>
The front-end is written in plain JavaScript: fast, lightweight, and maintainable. Features include live typing, a web-based bash terminal, markdown support, and backend rendering for optimal initial load. Snek arose from a need for a trustworthy, open alternative to commercial platforms—where privacy is preserved, and user autonomy is paramount.
The frontend employs vanilla JavaScript exclusively, guaranteeing a lightweight, high-speed user experience with minimal maintenance overhead. Key features include real-time typing indicators, integrated web bash terminal, Markdown support, and server-side rendering for optimal performance. Snek exists to address the growing disregard for privacy and trust in mainstream platforms—here, these are non-negotiable standards.

<h2>Why does Snek exist?</h2>
<p>
Snek exists because most communication platforms compromise on control, privacy, or cost. Existing solutions have become either prohibitively commercial, invasive, or dependent on closed ecosystems. Snek is the answer: a platform that puts the user first, respects privacy by design, and eliminates unnecessary dependencies.
Leading chat platforms routinely prioritize data exploitation, restrictive ecosystems, or inflated costs. Snek takes a disciplined, user-focused approach: privacy is uncompromised, the feature set is purposeful, and superfluous elements are eliminated.
</p>
<p>
Snek was born from dissatisfaction with the status quo. RocketChat lost its edge to commercial interests. Slack is expensive and proprietary. Microsoft Teams requires a Microsoft account and brings corporate overhead. Snek is different. Snek is built for those who value independence, transparency, and technical excellence.
Snek was established in direct response to industry trends—RocketChats commercial pivot, Slacks proprietary and expensive model, and Teams account lock-in and administrative burden. Snek is for those who require autonomy and technical transparency.

<h2>Design Decisions</h2>
<h2>Design Principles</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Privacy First:</strong> No email required. No intrusive logging. Instant signup. User data is protected, always.</li>
<li><strong>Open Source:</strong> Snek is fully open-sourced. Self-hosting is supported and encouraged. Extensibility is integral.</li>
<li><strong>Engineering Discipline:</strong> Minimal dependencies. Every line of code is reviewed for performance and security.</li>
<li><strong>Protocol Agnostic:</strong> Multi-protocol support (WebDAV, SFTP) enables integration with existing workflows. No vendor lock-in.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight by Design:</strong> Lean front-end. Efficient back-end. No bloat, no distractions.</li>
<li><strong>Privacy as Policy:</strong> No email required. No invasive logging. Expedited, secure registration. Your data remains exclusively yours.</li>
<li><strong>Open Source Commitment:</strong> Complete code transparency. Deploy your own Snek instance or contribute to the ecosystem.</li>
<li><strong>Engineering Rigor:</strong> No tolerance for bloat. All code is scrutinized for efficiency and security.</li>
<li><strong>Protocol Flexibility:</strong> Native compatibility with WebDAV, SFTP, and other open standards. Vendor lock-in is categorically rejected.</li>
<li><strong>Lean Architecture:</strong> Both backend and frontend are optimized for speed and resource efficiency.</li>
</ul>

<h2>How is Snek Different?</h2>
<p>
Snek is not an experiment. Snek is not a toy. Snek is not a compromise. Snek is built for professionals who value robust architecture, auditability, and technical clarity. Snek does not collect your data. Snek does not analyze your behavior. Snek does not sell your attention.
Snek is a rigorously engineered, dependable platform designed for organizations and individuals who require transparency and predictability. There is no user tracking, analytics, or marketing—ever.
</p>
<p>
Every feature is implemented with purpose. Simplicity is enforced. Features are added only when justified, tested, and proven reliable. Snek is designed to last. Snek is engineered to serve.
Feature additions are strictly merit-based: only those that deliver measurable value and meet high standards of reliability are integrated. The focus is on sustained, long-term utility.
