Deploy and Host velm.dev on Railway

**A low-code application platform for building structured tools — from household management to enterprise operations.✱

Most tools for managing structured work are either too expensive, too rigid, or too generic to be genuinely useful. The ones that do everything cost a fortune and take months to configure. The ones you can afford don't do quite enough.

Velm is a different approach.

You define your application in YAML — its data model, its screens, its automations, its logic. Velm materialises it. You get a working, structured application without the boilerplate, the framework sprawl, or the enterprise licence bill.

The goal is to give developers — and eventually everyone — a way to build the kind of internal tools that currently require either significant budget or a dedicated engineering team.

About Hosting velm.dev

> Velm is being built in the open from an early stage. The runtime is functional but not yet stable. The YAML schema will change before 1.0.

> Early adopters who like getting in before the paint dries — welcome. If you need something production-ready today — check back in a few weeks.

Velm is publicly released under the GNU Affero General Public Licence v3.0, with the repository notice clarified in COPYRIGHT.md as AGPL-3.0-only.

Plain terms: use it, modify it, and self-host it freely. If you run a modified version as a network service, you must publish your modifications under the same licence. This protects the community that builds on it.

Velm is also intended to be dual-licensed. Commercial terms may be available separately from the copyright holder; see COMMERCIAL-LICENSING.md.
