Why suffer with mainstream business collaboration suites when you could be boujee bitches with modern tools?
|
||||
A self-hosted, open-core collaboration suite for teams who want ownership over their tools, data, and workflows — built on [La Suite Numérique](https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/), wrapped in custom infrastructure that actually slaps.
|
||||
|
||||
One box. One bill. All yours. 💅
|
||||
|
||||
> **Status:** Early beta. The platform is fully functional and we run our entire studio on it daily — every feature you see here is tested in production by us first. We're still building out integrations and polishing edges. It works, we're just making it boujee-ier. ✨

## What's in the box?
|
||||
|
||||
The Super Boujee Business Box ✨ is everything your team needs to collaborate, communicate, and create — without handing your data to a dozen different SaaS companies.
|
||||
|
||||
| App | What it does | Vibe |
|
||||
|-----|-------------|------|
|
||||
| **Docs** | Collaborative document editing with real-time sync | Google Docs, but it's yours |
|
||||
| **Drive** | File storage with versioning and smart organization | Dropbox who? |
|
||||
| **Mail** | Full email platform with personal and shared mailboxes | Gmail without the surveillance |
|
||||
| **Messages** | End-to-end encrypted chat on Matrix | Slack, but make it private |
|
||||
| **Meet** | Video/audio calls powered by LiveKit | Zoom, but self-hosted and gorgeous |
|
||||
| **Calendar** | Scheduling with team availability | It's giving organization |
|
||||
| **Projects** | Kanban boards for docs, tasks, and databases | Trello walked so this could run |
|
||||
| **People** | User and team management hub | The directory, darling |
|
||||
|
||||
Every app shares context by default. Switching between tools feels like moving through rooms in the same house — not jumping between separate buildings. One login gets you everywhere.
|
||||
|
||||
### The custom stuff that makes it boujee
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | What it is | Why it's special |
|
||||
|-----------|-----------|-----------------|
|
||||
| [**Sol☀️**](docs/sol.md) | AI presence living in your Matrix chat | A virtual employee — works *with* you, not *for* you. Has opinions, remembers you, pushes back. |
|
||||
| [**Pingora Proxy**](docs/proxy.md) | ML-powered reverse proxy in Rust | Your bouncer. DDoS detection, scanner blocking, rate limiting — models compiled into the binary. |
|
||||
| [**Sunbeam CLI**](docs/cli.md) | One command to run everything | `sunbeam up` and you're live. Kustomize, Helm, kubectl, OpenBao — all wrapped in one binary. |

## The team
|
||||
|
||||
The Super Boujee Business Box ✨ is built and maintained by **Sunbeam Studios** — a three-person game studio that needed collaboration tools and decided to make them *unreasonably* good.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Sienna** — Californian engineer. Built the infrastructure, writes the Rust, breaks and fixes the things.
|
||||
- **Amber** — South African designer. Marketing & design. Makes everything look intentional, from brand identity to game assets.
|
||||
- **Lonni** — Dutch producer. Keeps the trains running. Lives in Projects and Calendar so the rest of us don't have to think about deadlines.
|
||||
|
||||
We built this because we wanted to own our tools, own our data, and have a stack that felt like *us* — not like an enterprise procurement committee picked it. Every feature here runs in our production environment first. If it's in the docs, we use it daily.
