Become a sponsor to Adam Mikołajczyk
Hi, I'm Adam 👋
When I switched to Linux, I fell for terminal apps almost immediately, and then
tried to build one. It was hard: clunky, limited, every bit of polish fighting
back. That left me with a question I couldn't put down: why is there no React
or Elm for the terminal?
So I built one.
(The name? Tulipan is Polish for tulip: tui-lipan is that word with a TUI
planted inside. Yes, the logo is a tulip. 🌷)
What I'm building
- tui-lipan: a component-based
TUI framework for Rust. Declarative components, layout engine, mouse + focus,
overlays, themes, animation, and headless snapshots so even AI agents can
see the UI they build. Over 230,000 lines of Rust, written solo. - opencode-tui: a full rebuild
of the OpenCode AI coding TUI. Measurably faster to start, ~20x lighter in
memory, with full feature parity. - hyprmux: a Hyprland-style tiling
terminal multiplexer with animated layouts, floating panes, and workspaces. - EmberDeep: a roguelike where
torchlight is your health bar, your clock, and your field of view.
Everything is open source. The framework is MPL-2.0: free for commercial and
closed-source apps, and it can never be forked closed.
Why sponsor?
I build and maintain all of this alone. Sponsorship doesn't buy features or
support contracts. It buys time: time to fix bugs, review PRs, write docs,
and keep shipping the framework and apps everyone gets for free.
If tui-lipan or one of the apps saves you time or just makes your terminal
nicer, a sponsorship of any size is the most direct way to say "keep going."
Thank you 🔥
