I could use design advice
Another thing you might consider is literally using the filesystem as a database. There are plenty of vanillla ways to simply read/write to JSON or you could even use a JSON based db github.com/typicode/lowdb again you don't need to think about it as a db your just handling JS objects.
What are some alternatives?
