About Tophhie Cloud

What we do

Tophhie Cloud Ltd is a software company. We build our own products, we run the infrastructure they sit on, and we take on development work for people who want something built properly.

That covers a fair spread of ground. A growing set of our own products, Sigil, Marvelist and Tophhie Social, plus the Tophhie Cloud API that ties a lot of it together. Consumer apps and SaaS, built in-house rather than acquired or white-labelled. Some of it runs on infrastructure we own and operate ourselves. Some of it runs on Azure and Cloudflare, because that is the right tool for the job. Either way, we understand and control every layer we are responsible for.

We are a young company, but not a young operation. Everything here is built on years of hands-on engineering and architecture experience: the kind that comes from having actually been paged at 2am, not just read about it.

Our position

We think most software gets shipped as a black box not because it has to be, but because it is easier to hide the workings than to stand behind them. We take the harder route on purpose: self-hosted where it makes sense, transparent about how things actually work, and honest when something breaks. It will, eventually, and pretending otherwise helps no one.

That is the whole positioning, really. No black boxes. No infrastructure you cannot ask questions about. Whatever we are building, you get someone who will tell you the truth about it.

Who's behind it

Tophhie Cloud is run by Chris Greenacre — engineer, technical solutions architect, and the person who will personally read your email.
