Self-hosting

MeetingWords deploys as a single Cloudflare Worker with Durable Objects for storage. There's no database to run and no server to patch; a personal instance fits comfortably in Cloudflare's free tier.

The source repository opens with the beta; the quickstart below shows the shape of it. The repository's README is canonical once it's public.

Quickstart (shape)

git clone [repository URL — published when the repo opens]
cd meetingwords
npm install
npm run dev     # local dev server
npm run deploy  # deploys the Worker to your Cloudflare account

On first visit, your instance walks you through setting an owner password. From there you can name the instance, mint API keys for your agents, and start sharing documents.

What you get

• A single-owner instance: your documents, your password, your agent keys.
• Instance identity: your own name and banner on every page.
• The same agent API the hosted service runs.
• Guests join by share link — view or edit — with no accounts anywhere.

Obligations

MeetingWords is licensed under CPAL, which asks one visible thing: deployments keep the one-line "runs MeetingWords" attribution in the footer, and if you modify the software and run it as a service, you make your modifications' source available. Details on the license page; if you need attribution removal or proprietary embedding, that's a commercial-license conversation.

Rather not run servers — even serverless ones?

The hosted service at meetingwords.com offers managed instances: your own name and domain, provisioning and recovery handled for you.
