I created and named the Grit library that used to power GitHub. Scott Chacon (fellow GitHub cofounder, now CEO of GitButler) specifically asked my permission to re-use Grit as the name of this project, which I gladly granted. R is for Ruby. R is for Rust! Grit is dead. Long live Grit!

With Claude Code's new lifecycle hooks, GitButler auto-sorts simultaneous AI coding into separate branches. Write three features, get three clean branches.

Hey, Tom Preston-Werner, co-creator of RedwoodJS here. We've been working hard on React Server Components support in RedwoodJS and really happy to finally have a bare-bones working implementation ready!

Redwood is a framework for quickly creating React-based web applications that provide an amazing end user experience. Our goal is to be simple and approachable enough for use in prototypes and hackathons, but performant and comprehensive enough to evolve into your next startup.

Until now we've focused on SPAs with GraphQL for data fetching. But this new era of RSCs allows us to offer a streamlined data fetching model that helps you iterate much faster. We still offer first class GraphQL API tooling for when you need it, but it's an optional add-on.

Happy to answer any questions you may have!

Thanks, Will! It's awesome having you in the Redwood startup community, and blown away by the work you're doing at Everfund!

Thanks, Orta! I'm especially keen to get money in the hands of under-represented developers that would otherwise not have a chance to spend time on getting a startup off the ground. Hopefully we can be first money in at a time that truly makes a difference in whether a startup exists or not!

Tom Preston-Werner here, I'm behind the Redwood Startup Fund as an extension of my work on RedwoodJS. I also do a lot of angel investing, and this fund finally combines my great loves of Redwood and investing! I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about the $1M fund and how we expect to deploy it over the coming twelve months.

Explanation and link added!

Right now there is no business model, on purpose. This is why I'm personally supporting it. I think what David meant is that we are sustainable because I am committed to sustaining the project. Our goal is to find a properly sustainable model in the future that meshes well with our mission and ambition. It will be exciting to figure that out!

It is unusual, perhaps, but as Redwood has evolved, it's been natural for us to really offer support for startups using our tools. Redwood is a more complex, more integrated, and more aligned with long term maintainability than most of the alternatives, which means our market focus is on projects that need that kind of tooling. And who needs that tooling most? Startups! Plus, I do a lot of angel investing and so helping startups is of great interest to me, so I can combine my great loves!
