TL;DR
Cloudillo is in beta-track stabilization. It’s functional, we use it ourselves daily, and it’s ready for people who want to kick the tires. Expect rough edges. We’re not yet promising your data is safe to keep forever, or that you’ll migrate cleanly between every version — that’s what beta is for.
💬 Ways to connect and explore
- Join the conversations on Discord.
- Try Cloudillo using our Docker images.
- Browse our early Technical Documentation.
- Source on GitHub: frontend and cloudillo-rs (Rust backend).
- If you feel like it, support the project on Patreon.
What’s in the platform
Cloudillo runs on a single Rust backend (cloudillo-rs) and a React frontend built from pluggable microfrontend apps. The detailed feature inventory lives on the Rust backend status page.
Collaboration apps
- Quillo — word processor with real-time co-editing
- Calcillo — spreadsheet with formulas; XLSX in and out
- Prezillo — presentations; PowerPoint in and out, auto-start share links
- Notillo — wiki and notes with block-level inline comments
- Calendar — events with CalDAV sync (Apple Calendar, Thunderbird, DAVx⁵)
- Contacts — address book with CardDAV sync
Community features
- Feeds, posting, commenting, reactions
- Messaging — 1:1 and within communities
- Communities with invites, join requests, per-community posting
- Cross-server federation between independent Cloudillo instances
- Granular sharing — view, comment, or edit; per-document, per-folder, per-community
Current focus: stabilization and beta
The next stretch of releases is about sanding rough edges, not adding new apps. Less ribbon-cutting, more sanding. Concretely:
- Wider testing — more people running their own instance
- Smoother day-to-day for self-hosters: setup, sensible defaults, useful diagnostics
- Tightening the federation behaviour between independent servers
- Closing the gap on small UX papercuts that have been around too long
If something has been bugging you, this is the moment to tell us.
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 pillar, alongside full user data ownership and the unified collaboration toolkit.
