A welcoming first visit
New members should have an obvious place to start, readable guidance, and controls they can find without searching through hidden menus.
Secret Sauce
A small idea, built for communities.
Secret Sauce was started by Tommytactical with a simple aim: make it easier for people to find a place to talk, and easier for anyone to build a community that feels like theirs.
S
Made in the open, shaped by the people who use it.
The project began as a small prototype and grew into a public community platform. The public experience now centres on member-run servers, useful communication tools, and a dedicated Trust & Safety process.
Product principles
What Secret Sauce is trying to do well
Tools that stay understandable
Server owners should be able to set up channels, roles, and permissions in plain language, then refine their space as it grows.
Accountability and care
Reporting and moderation should be visible, reviewed by people, and paired with a path to appeal when a member needs a second look.
What comes next
A product shaped by use, not assumptions.
Secret Sauce is being developed as a practical set of tools that can grow with its communities. The work is focused on making the basics dependable before adding more layers.
Clearer first steps
Help new owners get a useful starting server, with channels and roles they can understand and change later.
Reliable conversations
Messages, profiles, notifications, and search should work together so members can keep up without fighting the interface.
Practical safety tools
Reports, moderation history, and appeals should give staff enough context to act while keeping member-facing steps clear.
