What is Congo?

Congo is a Go web framework that does things differently.

When you run 'congo init', the entire framework is copied into your project as regular Go files. Not downloaded from a registry. Not fetched at build time. Copied. You own every line.

Why? Because frameworks that live in registries create invisible dependencies on infrastructure you don't control. Registries go down. Maintainers delete packages. Major versions break your code. Congo avoids all of this by giving you the source.

The framework includes:

• An MVC web server with HTMX and DaisyUI
• A SQLite/LibSQL database with auto-migration
• React island components for complex UI
• Cloud deployment to DigitalOcean (or any provider you add)
• AI integration with Claude and OpenAI

One binary. Three commands to a running app. Source code you can read, modify, and own.
