Absolutely — here’s a polished GitHub public-page description that highlights what Nido is, its architecture, and its main value without overwhelming visitors.

Nido

Nido is a self-hosted property-tracking workspace for managing properties, engagement, analytics, and operational data from a single authenticated application.

Built as a modern monorepo, Nido combines a Go backend, React frontend, and SQLite database into a lightweight, reliable workspace designed with data safety and operational control in mind.

Highlights

• Authenticated workspace with admin and operator workflows
• Property tracking with custom fields, tags, and engagement data
• Analytics and reporting APIs for operational insights
• Go backend with a structured API and SQLite persistence
• React 19 + Vite frontend with typed service modules
• Data-first architecture with automated backups and controlled migrations
• Safe database migrations with pre-migration backups
• Portable data management with JSON backup and restore capabilities
• Monorepo structure separating frontend, backend, documentation, configuration, and developer tooling

Architecture

├── app/       React 19 + Vite frontend
├── server/    Go backend + SQLite persistence
├── cmd/       Local development helpers

└── config/    Local configuration

The frontend communicates with the backend through typed service modules, while SQLite serves as the system of record. The application runtime is designed to prioritize data safety over availability, particularly during schema changes.

Data Safety

Nido includes a controlled migration system with configurable strategies:

• safe-auto — automatically backs up the database before applying schema changes
• manual — requires migrations to be handled explicitly
• Pre-migration SQLite backups
• Portable JSON exports
• Server-side backup creation
• Restore workflows
• Migration status and recovery controls

This makes Nido suitable for environments where preserving operational data is more important than automatically applying every change.

Development

Nido provides a unified development workflow for running the backend, frontend, and common project tasks locally.

The project includes automated validation for:

• Frontend tests
• Linting
• Type checking
• Production builds
• Go backend tests

For detailed setup and architecture information, see the documentation in /docs.
