    <h1>About CloudScript.io</h1>

    <p>CloudScript.io builds small, focused apps for Atlassian Confluence Cloud, published on the Atlassian Marketplace. The aim is narrow and practical: each app does one useful thing well, installs cleanly into Confluence Cloud, and stays out of the way the rest of the time.</p>

    <p>CloudScript.io is run by Patrick Roumanoff as an independent (sole-trader) software vendor rather than a large company, and that shapes how the apps are built: deliberately lightweight, with as little data handling as the job allows, and no analytics or third-party tracking baked into the products or this site.</p>

    <h2>What we make</h2>
    <p>The current Confluence Cloud apps are CloudScript.io Mermaid, which renders <a href="https://mermaid.js.org/">Mermaid</a> diagrams inline on a Confluence page from the diagram source you type; CloudScript.io NikoNiko Calendar, a Niko-niko (mood) calendar for tracking how a team is feeling over a sprint; and CloudScript for Confluence, an administrator tool for running JavaScript against the Confluence Cloud REST API to automate bulk content tasks.</p>

    <p>Mermaid is the app under active development and the one most of this site is about. NikoNiko Calendar and CloudScript for Confluence are established apps that remain available on the Marketplace; their pages on this site document them as they stand today.</p>

    <h2>Background</h2>
    <p>We have built for the Atlassian ecosystem for many years. An early example was a 2007 Codegeist entry, a Groovy script-runner for the Atlassian stack, which was subsequently developed by Jamie Echlin into ScriptRunner, now a long-established Atlassian Marketplace app. We have stayed small since by choice: rather than chase large, heavily resourced products, CloudScript.io concentrates on narrow, well-made apps that do one job and keep doing it, which is what the apps on this site are.</p>
