Cobalt is a cross-platform web application designed as a distributed service platform for managing media content downloading. It functions as a full-stack monorepo that integrates a backend API with a responsive frontend, providing a unified interface for users to fetch and save media files from various online platforms.
The project utilizes a modular architecture where backend services, frontend interfaces, and shared logic are organized into decoupled packages within a single repository. This monorepo structure employs centralized workspace orchestration to manage dependencies and cross-package builds, ensuring consistent versioning across the entire application. The backend exposes structured RESTful API endpoints to handle data operations, while the frontend is delivered as pre-compiled static assets for client-side rendering.
The system supports containerized deployment and environment-variable configuration, allowing for consistent execution and self-hosted instances across different infrastructures. Comprehensive technical documentation is included within the repository to guide the deployment and operation of the service.
