What is tables and does it work?

tables is a Holochain app for collaborative data tables, made by Lightning Rod Labs, whose last push was on 8 September 2026 and whose latest release, v0.10.4, came out on 10 December 2025, both dated at the census read of 13 September 2026. We know this from the project's README, the census record, and the v0.10.4 release notes.

tables is a Holochain app for collaborative data tables, maintained by Lightning Rod Labs under an MIT-style licence. Its name in the repository and census is lowercase "tables". Real-time collaboration is delivered through syn, the Holochain synchronisation library. As of the census read on 13 September 2026 the repository was still active, with its last push on 8 September 2026.

The project's manifest pins the Holochain Development Kit to 0.4.0-rc (with hdi 0.5.0-rc and the client at 0.18.0-dev.13), and it ships both happ.yaml and web-happ.yaml manifests. Its latest release, v0.10.4 on 10 December 2025, is an upgrade to Holochain 0.6. The census lists tables as a tool for the Moss host runtime.

To get it running you enter the project's nix shell, install dependencies with npm, then use npm start for a two-agent network or npm run dev for a solo development environment in the browser. Packaging with npm run package produces a tables.webhapp that the Holochain Launcher can install.

How to get it

moss-tool

  1. Install Rust if you are not inside the provided nix shell.
  2. Run `nix develop` in the repository root, then `npm install`.
  3. Run `npm start` to bring up a 2-node network with its UIs, or `npm run dev` for a solo development environment with a browser UI.
  4. Run `npm run package` to produce the distributable `tables.webhapp` for the Holochain Launcher.

Does tables run for you?

Say so, and the page counts it. A GitHub account older than six months is the proof; the maintainer cannot vote. Nothing here changes where a project appears in any list.
