Hoenipedia
This encyclopedia. A self-hosted, build-time-rendered Wikipedia clone covering the iMessage group chat presently known as the Newfound Glory Hole (and previously known by 21 other names — see List of chat names). Named for hoen, the chat's most-used non-stopword.
Hoenipedia is the encyclopedia you are reading. It is a Next.js 14 site, generated from a Python extraction pipeline that reads the user's local ~/Library/Messages/chat.db, decodes message bodies out of NSKeyedArchiver attributedBody blobs, and produces a corpus of 114,542 messages spanning 2020-07-07 → 2026-05-13.
Naming
The site is named after hoen — the chat's most-used non-stopword (1,439 occurrences) and the basis of two prior chat names (Weekend at Hoenies, 2022; Oops, All Hoeny Boys, 2023). The site is not named after, related to, or commercially affiliated with the unrelated chat-internal joke domain halupedia.com, which was posted in the chat by Evan Bbbender on 2026-05-13. (See Charlie Kirk for that historical message.)
Scope
Hoenipedia covers, in approximate order of priority:
- The seven members of the chat (see Members).
- The chat's central practices: hoening, Hoen Lunch, and their corollaries.
- Recurring venues: Blutos, Dimos, Birdie Time, Grand Fir, Hat Yai, Jerry's, and others.
- Recurring people: Amanda, Heather.
- Through-lines and arcs: Charlie Kirk, Iran war discourse, Epstein discourse, the 420 Blaze It Leaderboard, and the Almost sent subgenre.
- The chat's own institutional history: the List of chat names.
Sources
All factual claims on Hoenipedia are drawn from the iMessage chat database, extracted by scripts/extract_messages.py, decoded from attributedBody binary plists where the text column was null. Dates are UTC. Sender names are resolved against the macOS Contacts database. Two handles are manually mapped (see DECISIONS.md):
+19718670657→ Matt+13202676827→ Max Lieberman's earlier phone-based handle, before he switched to email.
The corpus consolidates messages across three sibling chat ROWIDs in chat.db (3, 2203, 2204) which all correspond to the same logical group despite the chat having been renamed and forked across them.
Editorial policy
- Quote real messages verbatim with date and sender. Do not paraphrase.
- Cite spans of usage, not just first appearances.
- Where the corpus and an earlier article disagree, the corpus wins.
