Become a sponsor to Cody Marsengill

Hi, I’m Cody — an open source developer building practical terminal-first tools in Go, Rust, and Python.

I maintain several projects focused on performance, privacy, and developer experience, including:

  • marchat: Minimalist terminal-native group chat app with end-to-end encryption, plugin support, file sharing, and admin tools
  • marchat-plugins: A growing ecosystem of plugins for marchat, with official and community-built extensions
  • ignoregrets: Snapshots of your Git-ignored files tied to commits
  • codesleuth: Fast COBOL code analysis and reporting with Mermaid diagrams
  • parsec: Terminal file inspector with live preview and fuzzy search
  • ascii-colorizer: Render images and videos as full-color ASCII art

All of these tools are free, local-first, and privacy-respecting.

Your sponsorship helps me maintain and improve these projects, experiment with new ideas, and support the developer community.

Thanks for your support!
