How wh-iterabb-it/meowfacts works
meowfacts is a small Express API that serves cat facts. A client requests a random or ID-selected fact, multiple facts, or a language-specific response; the app applies query-validation middleware and delegates fact selection to the facts model. The API also exposes language options and health information. Localization modules supply the multilingual fact data. The map focuses on runtime behavior; the README documents the API capabilities, while the source excerpts show the request flow and localization loading. It does not show any persistent store or external runtime service.
