How it works
A personal knowledge base you can ask questions about your own life. What Honeycomb does, what it’s built with, and how far along it is.
The premise
Honeycomb collects notes, journal entries, people, places and events, and pulls in more from Gmail, Google Calendar, GitHub, Spotify, Steam and Discord. Then you can ask it questions in plain English, and it answers from your notes, journal, mail and calendar, with sources.
A lot of it got built in a short burst in May 2026, including the connectors, the search pipeline and a desktop shell, but it hasn’t been touched since. It’s on hold for now.
What’s included
An assistant that answers from your notes, journal, mail and calendar, and cites its sources
Connectors for Gmail, Calendar, GitHub, Spotify, Steam and Discord
Pulls people, places and events out into a graph and a timeline
Web and desktop from one codebase
How it’s built
Honeycomb is built on TypeScript, React, Firebase, Tauri 2, Pinecone and Claude API.
The repository is 73% TypeScript, 13% CSS, 12% JavaScript by volume.
It carries 4 commits since May 2026, most recently changed in May 2026.
How the work is done
Every project here starts as a written spec, and the spec stays the source of truth once there’s code. The repository keeps a build plan with current status, an append-only decision log of where the code departed from the plan, and a handoff document that describes where things stand, including the unfinished parts.
That’s how one person keeps this many projects moving, and it’s what this page is written from.
Current state
Archived. Paused or superseded.
The source is private, so the way to check what this page says is to use the product.
