For the last 5 months, I’ve been working on Hazel, and I’m super excited to finally share a first open beta version: https://t.co/sLSH97LNCc, try it out now!
Fully open source as always of course https://t.co/fPH9stf18Z
I started building Hazel because I’ve been super unhappy with work chat apps for quite some time. Slack feels lacking in a lot of areas, customization support feels limited, Discord is amazing but sadly feels way too unprofessional, and I don’t even want to talk about Teams…
I knew it would be a fool’s task to try to build something to replace these tools, but I wanted to try anyway and quickly got obsessed. I kept grinding on it more and more, slowly chipping away at one thing after another, and I can finally say I’m happy enough to use Hazel over any of the other solutions for my day‑to‑day communication, it's far from perfect but in a state I would love to get some feedback to make this truly the best communication platform.
I built Hazel from the ground up with @EffectTS_ , @ElectricSQL , and @tanstack db to not only make it really, really fun to develop, but also great to use and maintain.
For now, some core features include:
- Public / Private / DM channels
- Threads & replies
- Reactions & file uploads
-A media explorer
- A smart notification system
…and much, much more.
Hazel is far from done, but I hope I can inspire some of you to join me on this journey to do the impossible and build the Slack of the modern era.
Maple's security hub is getting more powerful, it will auto alert you on any suspicious requests now and can auto detect based on fingerprints or user agents if you are getting scanned by any well known security tool and will auto alert you as well.
@sones3_@devinjameson this might be the nicest thing anyone has ever told me online 🫶 thank you so much hope I can continue providing useful content in the future
Even if small hope this helps a bit, really really enjoy using foldkit and we are still sooo early.
Wish you all the best on this journey @devinjameson hope to support in more meaningful ways in the future
I've decided to start working on Foldkit full-time. :)
There's enough momentum behind the project that I feel confident taking the leap.
No matter how things work out, I think I'll be glad I gave this my complete attention right now.
I'm excited to see what full-time focus does for the project and community.
More in thread!
starting to be somewhat happy with how @axiomhq looks on the iphone duo
still a lot left to do but we've gone from basically unusable to pretty good in a week or so
Maple now also has a Google Search Console integration 👀
Gives your agents a unified way to access both Google Search data, product events, conversions and web analytics
Left Native, Right in the Browser
Making lots of progress, got SVGs to render correctly, paddings and opacity maps correctly now.
Now have popovers, hover states and animations (this will be beyond hard i think) to go
I'm currently rebuilding my chat app hazel from react => @foldkit
And experimenting with a native renderer for foldkit with rune. Surprisingly didn't require a lot of code to get a simple version up and running
kinda odd to see the same IP address has been trying to sign up to Maple via my other domains email adress [email protected] for hours now with over 1000 tries recorded, what is the point of this "hack" attempt I don't fully get it
@longtilwrong@foldkit Think will spent some time polishing this and make this a real thing.
could be pretty cool just replacing part of your web app to be rendered via rune on WebGPU or in this case a full desktop app.

Saturday's are for silly ideas, so I started making @Mapledotdev 's 3D service map more into a game. You can now move your factory buildings around, choose different building styles and group.
Thinking about adding building levels based on throughput as well 😅
Two of the biggest improvements I have build for the @Mapledotdev MCP are self healing sql queries, if the agent has sends the MCP a slightly broken query the server will try to fix it and will additionally send the fix reasons back to the client and any unfixable errors will return a more detailed error response what is broken about the query and how to potentially fix it.
These two things alone lowered the error rate from 0.5% of only 0.1% across over 100k requests so far.
Have not talked alot about effect-orm but it seems like it's really starting to take off for some reason 👀
Been also improving it a lot with it now supporting Clickhouse, Sqlite, Mysql and Postgres
Also got some docs now :) https://t.co/1eDcQgfm0n
