Seeking Sustainable Sponsorship for Hologram

Hi friends,

I wanted to share an update on Hologram that’s been on my mind lately.

After nearly 3 years of full-time work on Hologram, I’ve reached a crossroads. I believed deeply enough in this vision to dedicate years of my life to it - and that belief has been validated. We’re seeing real-world production use, endorsements from community leaders, and genuine excitement from the ecosystem. But to keep this momentum going, I need to find a sustainable path forward.

Right now, I’m working 60+ hour weeks trying to balance contract work with Hologram development. It’s not sustainable, and frankly, neither the codebase nor the community deserves a maintainer who’s stretched this thin.

I’ve put together a post that explains where we are, where we’re going, and how you can help if Hologram’s vision resonates with you: Seeking Sustainable Sponsorship for Hologram


Even if sponsorship isn’t an option for you right now, sharing the post or talking about Hologram in your networks helps more than you know.

Thank you for being such a supportive community. Let’s build the future of Elixir web development together :purple_heart:

Although I am a total cheapskate, I’m happy to support this project. I am excited to see what opportunities Hologram opens up for full-stack web development, as well as other functionality that is enabled by this project (e.g. the BEAM-JS interop that is currently in development).

Hi @nxy7, thanks for backing Hologram! :slight_smile:

Yes, the project is now sustainable. With the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation stipend, Curiosum as the Main Sponsor, and GitHub sponsors like yourself, I can work on Hologram full-time.

Hey @bartblast I was looking around for any updates but couldn’t find anything. I myself became sponsor just now as I’m really rooting for this project (how good can Elixir community be to release gems such as Ash, Oban and now maybe Hologram) and was wondering if the project reached sustainability or if it might still be unclear how sustainable it will be in the long run.

Where Next?
