HOA Board

HOA Board Mode — bylaws are a love language.

Diane filed something. Of course she did.

What you'll see

HOA Board Mode is the texture of running a 41-home community where the bylaws live in a binder, the architectural committee has opinions about stain swatches, and someone filed an open-records request just to make a point. Comes with a recall petition gaining signatures, an insurance carrier hinting at non-renewal, and Diane on Block 4, whom you cannot defeat — only outlast.

Sample emails
Diane (Block 4): Re: trash bins on Elm

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real HOA management tool?

It is not. It's a parody simulator that captures the texture of HOA governance — variance requests, recall petitions, Ring footage reviews, vendor cease-and-desist letters, and Diane. Especially Diane.

Who is HOA Board Mode for?

Current HOA board members between architectural review hearings, residents who've been on the wrong side of Section 3.2.7, anyone who's lived in a planned community, and everyone whose Nextdoor feed has ever crossed into 'thread.'

Is Diane based on a real person?

Diane is based on every Diane. She is constructed from documents.

Will this help me actually run my HOA?

No. It will help you laugh about running your HOA. For real governance, talk to your property manager — and Diane.
