I built a 3D terminal emulator in Rust!

Welcome to the Rust community! This is a place to discuss about the Rust programming language.

I plan on publishing the majority of my project's source code under the Affero GPL v3, but this terminal emulator and other associated projects that could be made independent from my project will be published under Apache.
This is more of a hobby/passion project for me and the other contributors than anything else, so our primary goal is just to make something that's functional and usable to everyone. We don't plan on ever making a profit off of this unless we get the opportunity to keep the copyleft license while doing so. We hope that the AGPL license always lets free software enthusiasts have the opportunity to use our software over existing VR tech stacks like Unity, VRChat, or Neos, which are all non-freedom-respecting, non-self-hosting, and depending on who you ask, very poorly moderated.
However, right now, the project is so early-stage that I'm not comfortable seriously publicly promoting it just yet. Our documentation is currently in a state of disarray and we're trying to find a way to advance the project in our very limited free time.
I've love to share the source code, but we can't just yet. Hold on tight!
I can’t speak for others but I am saddened by the current state of VR. I was hopeful we’d have all kinds of desktop environments and applications to go with it. I break out my HMD every so often and I’m still holding out hope something like Monado can provide a good experience. I imagine booting my headless machine with only my tethered HMD but I guess that’s a pipedream haha.
Anyway thanks for sharing and keep us posted 👍
