Open source
Open where ownership depends on it.
SodaFlex intends to pair an open, documented website format and compatible tooling with commercial services that make the system easier to operate.
Current status
The application is still a proof of concept. The final licence, governance model, contribution process, and exact open-source package boundary have not been settled. We will not present intention as a completed release.
Likely open foundation
- The versioned portable website format and schemas
- Reference components and rendering behavior
- Build, import, export, and conformance tooling
- Deployment agent or compatible hosting contract
- Documentation needed to implement an independent compatible system
Likely commercial value
- Hosted CMS and collaboration
- Managed hosting, domains, backups, forms, and monitoring
- AI-assisted workflows and usage
- Professional, partner, and managed growth services
- Analytics, integrations, premium support, and operating convenience
The governing test
A customer should not need SodaFlex Cloud to own or host the website. SodaFlex Cloud should aim to be the easiest and most trustworthy way to operate it.
The pilot comes before the ecosystem.
We want evidence from one real business before formalising a broad platform promise.
