Product Surface
Light Layer
Desktop
A coherent experience across web and desktop surfaces.
Feature suites turn deployment complexity into explicit choices.
Why PaoPao
Built for calm launches and long-term growth.
Designed for teams that want a cleaner launch path, stronger infrastructure choices, and a community product that can keep growing.
Dual relationship models
Friendship and Followship are both built in, so the product can feel private and close-knit or broad and network-driven.
Composable feature suites
Default, Develop, Demo, Slim, plus sub-suites like Base, Option, and Sms let you shape each release intentionally.
Search designed for discovery
Meilisearch support gives feeds and tweet search the responsiveness a living community needs.
Flexible data and storage layers
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sqlite3, MinIO, S3, AliOSS, and LocalOSS make the system adaptable from solo deploys to richer environments.
Configurable by default
Compose the stack you actually want to run.
Choose the services, storage, search, and operational features you need, then keep the runtime surface intentionally small.
Four default suite styles
Default, Develop, Demo, and Slim give the project clear operating modes from the start.
Split or embedded frontend
Choose a standalone frontend service or ship the UI embedded with the backend API surface.
Storage that can scale with the product
Move from LocalOSS to MinIO or S3-compatible storage without rethinking the whole system.
