Manto

Manto (Portuguese for cloak) is a local‑first, FOSS‑friendly Markdown CMS built with Elixir and Phoenix LiveView.
Think of it as a lightweight cloak for your notes, docs, and ideas — simple, elegant, and entirely yours.

---

✨ Features (MVP)

• Local‑first: All content lives in plain .md files under priv/content/.
• Live editor: Split‑pane editor with real‑time Markdown preview.
• MDEx powered: Fast, extensible Markdown rendering with syntax highlighting, emoji shortcodes, and sanitization.
• Git‑friendly: Content is just files — version them however you like.
• No lock‑in: Clone, run, and hack locally. No external services required.

🚀 Quickstart

Clone and run locally:

git clone https://github.com/uminocelo/manto
cd manto
mix setup
mix phx.server

Open http://localhost:4000/editor in your browser. Start editing priv/content/welcome.md and see changes live.
