Hi, I'm Jon. I quit my job in 2019 to pursue developing an MMO in Rust. Someday, I might actually write one.

Along the way, I've considered my adventures in Rust an investment in my future career. I've always had the mentality that the type of MMO that I wanted to create would be similar to a traditional web application that interacted with native clients over APIs. Because of this, I always wanted the stack I was building to be something I could apply to nearly any problem.

For various reasons that I've written about elsewhere, BonsaiDb was the first project to arise from this inspiration of trying to build data-driven applications in Rust.

When looking into how to build administrative tools for BonsaiDb as well as how to actually present the game to a user, I decided I liked my own vision of GUI development and kept trying new things. I think I've finally created something worth pursuing: Cushy.

I love building open-source projects, and I love seeing what people are able to create using my libraries. If you use one of my libraries for profit, consider sponsoring me. It's absolutely not required, but it would be amazing to be able to sustain my monthly expenses with sponsorship towards making the Rust app development ecosystem better.
