GoKawiilD2 diagramming language becomes non-profit under Hack Club fiscal sponsorship
D2, previously funded as an open-core project by a for-profit company that developed a closed-source IDE and proprietary layout algorithm, is transitioning to independent non-profit status under Hack Club's fiscal sponsorship as the parent company shuts down. Creator Alex will continue maintaining D2 but with reduced time commitment, and is seeking new maintainers who could be paid through donation-funded contracts.
