TL;DR

Cloudillo is currently in alpha — it’s functional but experimental. You can try it out, explore features, share feedback — but expect rough edges. We don’t guarantee that your data is safe, private, or you can migrate to a newer version.

💬 Ways to connect and explore:

Platform Overview

The original TypeScript backend already supports several core features:

Community (social) features:

  • Feeds, posting, commenting, reactions
  • Document storage and real-time collaborative editing
    • Quillo word processor
    • Calcillo spreadsheet app
    • Prezillo presentation app
  • Direct (1:1) messaging — group chat coming soon

Rust port

We are currently porting the platform backend to Rust to make it faster, leaner, and more robust.

Why the switch?

  • More lightweight, resource-efficient and predictable performance
  • A safer, more trustworthy ecosystem than npm
  • Fine-grained control over memory, concurrency, and I/O

This effort started in August 2025 as an experiment but quickly became our main development focus. The low-level core is already more resilient than the original TypeScript backend. Look at the Rust Backend Status Page for details.

🎯 Goal: Catch up with the TypeScript version by end of 2025.

Focus: Community Features

Our short-term focus is on community features.

  • Easy community profile creation
  • User roles and permissions
  • Group chat implementation
  • Fine-grained access control for documents and files

Mid-Term Goals

We’ve teamed up with Socialroots to explore inter-community collaboration — an exciting and challenging area that could become Cloudillo’s third major feature, following full user data ownership and the unification of collaboration tools in one platform.
