What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Small teams co-edit simple web apps in a private chat room without anyone needing Git.

USE CASE 2

Ask an AI assistant to propose code changes from your group's full chat history.

USE CASE 3

Vote on proposed edits line by line and publish a permanent approved version.

USE CASE 4

Connect a room to GitHub so majority-approved snapshots deploy automatically.

Difficulty · moderate Time to first run · 30min

Requires Node.js 22.13 or newer, an npm install, and a server-side API key for the Moonshot Kimi model.

The README does not specify a license for this project, though it adapts code from an MIT-licensed repository.

So what is it?

{"i":0,"repo":"Jaabrakus/tinysaints","stars":0,"lang":"TypeScript","ok":true,"char_count":1893,"text":"make/room is an early-stage project where a small group of people can chat in a private room, edit a shared set of project files together, ask an AI model called Kimi K3 to suggest changes, review the exact edits line by line, vote on whether to accept them, and then publish the result or fork it into a separate room. It is designed for founders and small teams who want to build simple software collectively without each person needing to know Git or run complex developer tools.\n\nThe chat sits at the center of the workflow. Signed-in members talk in a durable, invite-only space. Anyone can manually edit the shared project tree or ask the server-side Kimi model to synthesize a direction from the room's full message history. Every proposal, whether made by a person or by the AI, produces a reviewable line-by-line diff against an immutable snapshot. The group votes on the staged build, and a majority is required before it becomes a published version. Published versions are permanent, and any room can be forked into a new independent space.\n\nThe generated app boundary is intentionally narrow. Kimi produces validated HTML and CSS, and people can edit a single JavaScript entry file plus supporting text files in folders. The JavaScript runs inside a locked-down browser sandbox with no access to storage, network, workers, forms, or navigation. Package installation and server-backed apps are not supported in the room itself and would need a separate isolated runner.\n\nThe project also has an optional protected release bridge. A room can connect to a GitHub repository, and a majority-backed published snapshot can become a GitHub commit that a hosting provider deploys automatically. The bridge creates parallel proposal branches, runs checks, requires owner approval, and uses a non-force fast-forward so Git remains the audit and rollback layer even though contributors never touch Git directly.\n\nRunning it locally requires Node.js 22.13 or newer, a standard npm install, and a server-side API key for the Moonshot Kimi model. The project adapts a bounded line-diff and chat pane layout from the MIT-licensed MoonshotAI kimi-code repository. The full README is longer than what was shown.","error":null}

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I want to set up a private chat room where my team can build a simple web app together with AI suggestions. How do I configure tinysaints with a Kimi K3 API key and Node 22?

Prompt 2

Help me understand tinysaints' voting workflow. I want to propose a code edit, have my team review the line-by-line diff, vote, and publish a version to GitHub.

Prompt 3

Using tinysaints, what kinds of apps can I build? Explain the HTML, CSS, and sandboxed JavaScript constraints and what is not supported.

Prompt 4

I need to fork an existing tinysaints room into a new independent space. Walk me through how forking works and what state carries over.

Prompt 5

How do I connect a tinysaints room to my GitHub repository so majority-approved snapshots become deployed commits?
