Our Projects

Moss

A frame for growing social fabric in The Weave

Formerly known as "We", Moss is an app that makes it trivially easy for groups to form, and assemble a fit-for-purpose suite of interoperable tooling capacities like chat, spread-sheets, drawing, kanban, etc. Moss relies on an open extensible pattern of using small Holochain hApps to provide these capabilities, and thus demonstrates a fully open peer-to-peer framework for building social fabric.

Read more about The Weave and also about the genesis of this work in Eric's blog post about We. Explore the code in Moss's GitHub repo.

Acorn

Project planning and management with state-of-affairs trees

Acorn is a Holochain-based project management & collaboration app for distributed teams with complex projects. Plan and manage your projects by creating detailed outcome hierarchies, collaboratively breaking them down into manageable units, and then track their completion.

Vines

A chat capacity for The Weave

Vines provides chat capability specifically designed for The Weave and use in Moss. Includes the usuals: topics, channels, attachments, mentions, etc..

Explore the details in Vine's GitHub repo.

Slate

Realtime drawing

Slate provides real-time collaborative drawing for use as a Capability for The Weave and use in Moss, and also as a stand-alone Holochain hApp. It combines Excalidraw for drawing with Holochain's Syn library, for real-time collaboration.

Explore the details in Slate's GitHub repo.

Notebooks

Realtime MarkDown editing

Notebooks provides real-time collaborative text editing for use as a Capability for The Weave and use in Moss, and also as a stand-alone Holochain hApp.

Explore the details in Notebooks GitHub repo.

Converge

Conflict resolution and solution brainstorming

Converge allows stakeholders to shift focus from outcomes to refining a set of criteria that has maximal support. Using this list, they can evaluate and refine proposals to meet those broadly supported criteria.

Read more in Leo's blog post and explore the details at dcan.app or Converge's Github repo.

Who's In?

Participation-contingent collective action

Who's In? enables users to propose collective actions or events. With it, anyone can suggest a joint action or event, which other people can agree to on the contingency that every necessary role is filled. This allows group action to grow effortlessly from idea to reality without anyone having to worry about its viability.

SnapMail

Peer-to-peer email on Holochain

SnapMail was developed by Eric Harris-Braun and Asher King in 1990 and it has been providing cross-platform, peer-to-peer messaging for the three decades since. Lighningrod Labs is now updating SnapMail using Holochain infrastructure for the next three.

Try a prototype release from the SnapMail releases page and learn more about the project from the SnapMail GitHub repos.

Where

A playground for group self-awareness (awhereness?) on Holochain

Groups, especially remote collaborative groups, often lack contextual information about collaborators that makes working together harder. Co-locating oneself across a number of spaces in the context of a group (or groups) provides an important avenue for improving both sense-making and working together. Where provides a generalized grammar for creating shared maps for groups to see the emergent "whereness" of each other across those them, as well as the grammatics to self-evolved these spaces and how to represent "location" in them.

Holochain Place

An homage to Reddit Place, but on Holochain

This hApp allows you to play your own games of Place with your friends and family on Holochain!

Explore the details in the GitHub repo.

Syn

Library for real-time collaboration on Holochain

Real-time simultaneous editing of documents is perhaps the most important addition of the modern web. It's what makes Google Docs, Miro, and HackMD so much more productive and valuable to use than any single-player version of a similar app. Syn makes it indulgently easy for developers to build collaborative apps on Holochain. The Syn library and zomes do all the heavy lifting.

REA PlaySpace

Prototype hApp for doing REA accounting

Built on the Holochain REA Framework, this app intents to provide an simple and clear end-user experience for creating REA plans, and using them to record economic events. Read more about REA on the Value Flows website.

Explore the details in the REA PlaySpace GitHub repo.

About Us

Started by Eric and Will Harris-Braun, Lightningrod Labs brings together a band of code-monkeys, designers, and others to build the soil and play in the garden of the emerging Holochain ecosystem.
