Quick Update & Thanks!
🕑 Added 2018-09-03 15:33:51 +0000 UTC Hey all,First off, I wanted to say THANK YOU for supporting Oni!
It's been a while since there is any sort of communication, so I wanted to give an update in terms of how we are using the funds. I've personally been busy with a variety of projects both professional and personal - but the Oni project has continued to push forward due to the efforts of some awesome collaborators.
Here are some notable contributors in the past months -
RyanC - Ryan has been a tremendous contributor to the project since the early days. He's very active in helping users with issues - both on GitHub and our Discord channel. Chances are, if you had a question, Ryan has been the go-to for helping you through it. He's taken on some very challenging issues - improving our setup experience on Windows, improving our CLI experience, and improving our snippet support.
Akin909 - Akin has also been a long-time contributor, and has done some incredible work on our UI. He's recently revived our welcome buffer layer, added session support, created several other buffer layers (colors, indentation lines), added a Git/VSC sidebar pane. He's also been active in reviewing PRs and helping others contribute to the project.
Cryza - Cryza has been working on our WebGL rendering layer - in particular, adding ligature rendering support (which has a lot of challenges!). He's made a lot of progress on this front.
My goal with the funding is to support whoever is doing work on the project - so for the past few months, I've been splitting the funds between the active contributors, and I anticipate continuing this. It's been inspiring and exciting to follow the work they've been doing! The other options I'd have is to save the funds so I can spend a week on the project, but at this time, I believe the best use is to distribute it between the active contributors.
So, thanks again for your support - it's very rewarding for me to be able to pass these funds on to people who deserve them, and it's tremendously appreciated by our collaborators too. Looking forward to see where the project goes!
Cheers,
Bryan
