FuryBee

A one-person studio that ships useful software.

FuryBee is an independent one-person studio in France. It designs, builds and runs 21 services across 5 universes, from article libraries and browser tools to games and apps.

What FuryBee makes

Most of FuryBee is free and works without an account: article libraries on AI, clean code, infrastructure and security; browser tools for code, images, audio and video; and games for friends and for young children.

Some of it is for developers and makers: dashboard and website templates sold as source code, open-source tools such as Tabee, Dictea and php-deps, and the brand kit this site is built on.

A few products have accounts because they keep your data for you: FuryBee Voice, FinBoard, profyl.it and Apprends avec BeeBee.

Who runs it

One developer designs, writes and operates everything on FuryBee. The publisher's legal details are in the legal notice.

How it is built

No platform-as-a-service and no third-party analytics: FuryBee runs on infrastructure it controls.

Hosting
One server rented from Scaleway, in Paris, France.
Edge
Cloudflare in front of every public site, as CDN and shield. The server only accepts web traffic coming through Cloudflare.
Routing
Each service runs in its own container. Traefik routes every hostname to the right one and manages TLS certificates.
Monitoring
Prometheus, Grafana and Loki watch the containers, the server and the access logs, and send alerts when something breaks.
Backups
Databases and configuration are backed up every night, and an encrypted copy is stored off-site.

Several of these choices are written up on Infra.FuryBee, for example putting Cloudflare in front of an origin and backing up a self-hosted Postgres.

Privacy by default

This portal and the browser tools load no analytics and set no cookies of their own. The image, audio and video tools process your files on your device; their servers only answer page requests.

Services with accounts keep only what they need to work and explain it in their own privacy pages. The details for this site are in the privacy policy.

English first

FuryBee publishes in English by default. The exceptions are deliberate: BeeBee Kids and Apprends avec BeeBee are made for French-speaking children, and FuryBee News serves French sources to French readers.
