# Yo! Micro Web Crawler in PHP & Manticore

Next generation of [YGGo!](https://github.com/YGGverse/YGGo) project with goal to reduce server requirements and make deployment process simpler

 - Index model changed to distributed cluster model, and now oriented to aggregate search results from network instances trough API
 - Refactored data exchange model where drop all internal keys dependencies
 - Snaps now using tar.gz compression to reduce storage requirements and still supporting remote mirrors, FTP including
 - Minimalism everywhere

## Implementation
