### YGGo! - Distributed & Open Source Web Search Engine

_Проект присвячується захисникам міста Бахмут_

Written by inspiration to explore [Yggdrasil](https://yggdrasil-network.github.io) ecosystem, because of last [YaCy](https://yacy.net/) node there was discontinued.
This engine also could be useful for crawling regular websites, small business resources, local networks.

The project goal - simple interface, clear architecture and lightweight server requirement.
