I build things that help teams work together without paying a per-seat SaaS tax every month. Right now that's OneCamp: a self-hosted, open-source workspace with chat, tasks, docs, video calls, a calendar and AI. This is where I write down what I shipped and what broke.
Since the last post, the live demo has gained approvals and status rules for projects, task keys and links that open a filled-in task, a calendar with a year view, time zones and proposed times, tables that group with totals and colour t...
Since the last post, OneCamp has had four releases, with AI and without. The biggest brings chat threads you follow, with a tab of their own in the Inbox, and mentions that ask before they notify a whole channel. Spli...
Everyone in a project now has a role, and its members add and change its tasks without waiting for an admin. Tables keep every change, so you can undo it, read a row's history and bring back what was deleted, and a ro...
Since the chat post, OneCamp has had four releases, with AI and without. The biggest gives docs room for a whole team: pages in a tree, comments on the exact words, sharing by person or team until a date you choose, v...
I set out to compare OneCamp's chat with Slack, one part at a time. Before I got to anything Slack has, the review found more than fifty things our chat got wrong by its own rules: thread replies that told the wrong p...

A multiuser whiteboard and chat, with no database.
Fault tolerance in monitoring distributed systems. The leader node checks the CPU and memory use of each server and commits that data to every server.
A REST API that runs health checks and tells the user when the status of a response code changes.
I write when something ships or breaks, which is often. Follow along in your feed reader, or on X.
