Hey folks, We have been working on a project called InlineStyle
A European, open-source, fediverse based alternative to the Google ecosystem.
It’s a single platform with these services:
- 📧 Email address @inlinestyle.it
- 📹 Video sharing via PeerTube
- 🎵 Music streaming with Funkwhale
- 📝 Docs and Drive via Collabora/NextCloud
- 📒 Markdown based notes
- 🎮 Browser-based FOSS games (Celeste Classic, Tyrian, SuperTux, etc.)
- 🌍 Static personal site hosting
All hosted in Europe. No telemetry, no ads, no corporate BS.
It’s not a startup pitch, just something we built because we got tired of being locked in.
The idea is to keep it sustainable with a simple support plan (€1.90/month) that unlocks upload features and personal email/webspace. Free tier available too, no login needed to browse.
Would love your thoughts. What should I improve? What’s missing for you to consider switching?
Our goal is to try to build a real #DeGoogle path that doesn’t feel like a downgrade. It will take time, but we are willing to try and stay committed to the mission.

Maybe I'm dumb but I had a hard time to grasp what it is actually. I guess I imagine something different behind the word "cloud". A "platform" or "ecosystem" sounds more fitting to me
But especially photos storing sounds kind of extreme for small opensource project like this, do you have a storage for all those data? That could be huge
Also is the project itself open source? I can't find the repository
And a security would be a huge topic for me for platform like that
Anyway, I guess I have to give it a try and a lot of my questions will clear up

I'm keen to see this grow.
A feature I'd really like to see is to allow people to use their own email domains, else they are somewhat vendor locked

It's a fair point. We will definitely consider that as we grow further the service.
We recognize there is a lot to do to, but we are commited to making it happen and we appreciate all support we can get even just spreading the word 🙏
