The open-source umbrella for an open, ethical, and accessible ecosystem of AI and developer tools.
Free and open source, built by a global community of contributors since 2023.

Website · Discussions · Monorepo · Sponsor

Elixpo Chapter is the open-source umbrella / monorepo for the whole Elixpo ecosystem — the org's flagship repository. It began in 2023 as a small college initiative and has grown into a collaborative, community-driven ecosystem of interconnected tools for creating, writing, drawing, searching, and building on the web. In just a couple of years it has grown into a series of 9+ projects, a global community, and participation in numerous hackathons and open-source programs.

Our belief is simple: AI and great software should be open, ethical, and free for everyone. Every tool below is open source, free to use, and shaped by contributors from around the world. No paywalls, no premium tiers, no sign-up walls on our public tools.

This repository is the monorepo / chapter umbrella for the ecosystem. The individual products inside it each live as a sub-project and declare their own product-specific terms.

At Elixpo, we are dedicated to building a future where AI is open, ethical, and accessible to everyone. Our mission is to create a community-driven ecosystem where developers, creators, and enthusiasts can collaborate, learn, and innovate without barriers like paywalls or proprietary restrictions. We believe in transparency, responsible development, and the power of interconnected tools to build a better future.

Everything runs on Cloudflare's edge. A shared platform layer backs the ecosystem — accounts.elixpo (SSO / identity), mails.elixpo (mail infra), and payouts.elixpo (payments) — sitting behind the edge gateway and the D1 / Workers KV data layer. The SaaS products (Blogs, Sketch, Search, Art, Chat) and the flagship lixrl.com all authenticate through Accounts and share the Mail and Payouts infra, while the login-free surfaces (elixpo.com, oreo.elixpo, me.elixpo) stay standalone. admin.elixpo and status.elixpo observe it all.

Development note: Elixpo is a parallel development initiative with multiple sub-projects evolving simultaneously within this monorepo. Each project follows its own dedicated development track and process, covering diverse fields across computer science. We actively welcome external open-source projects — if you'd like your project featured here, submit a proposal! Accepted projects are listed as contributors and included under the Elixpo licensing standard.

Elixpo is made by people, in the open. 45+ contributors have shaped these tools, with a small core team steering the way:

• Ayushman Bhattacharya - Founder & Lead (@Circuit-Overtime)
• Vivek Yadav - Lead Co-Dev (@ez-vivek)
• Anwesha Chakraborty - Core Maintainer (@anwe-ch)

Everyone is welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md and our Code of Conduct.

This project is funded through a mix of personal investment, community contributions, and generous infrastructure support. Our cloud compute and VPS resources are provided by Pollinations AI — special thanks to Thomas Haferlach and the Pollinations team for enabling our large-scale AI workloads.

The Elixpo and Oreo brand — marks, the mascot, palette, and usage rules — is the brand source of truth. A browsable kit is at elixpo.com/assets. Brand assets are provided under CC-BY-4.0 with the Oreo-trademarks exception.

Elixpo uses one licensing standard across every repository:

• Code - MIT (with the Oreo-trademarks exception).
• Brand & visual assets - CC-BY-4.0 (with the same exception).

The Oreo mascot, the chest E-badge, and the "Elixpo" and "Oreo" names, domains, and palette are reserved - this protects the brand and its royalties while keeping the code and assets free. See LICENSE and the per-product notice board, NOTICE.

Per-repo "exclusive" artifacts (an npm package, a VS Code extension, a hosted SaaS, a paid tier) are declared here and in NOTICE.

This repository: None - it is the community umbrella / monorepo. The exclusive artifacts (npm packages, VS Code extensions, hosted services, and reserved domains) belong to the individual products and are declared in their own notice boards.
