Kujtim started opencode few years back, they were developing this it even before any other CLI tools were in the market. Few months back thdxr(dax)(SST) and Adam started contributing to opencode. And quickly became the biggest contributors to the project. I think they also wanted to make it more presentable and Dax bought a domain and stuff while working on it. At some point charm approached Kujtim for some deal to move opencode to charm and keep working on it under them. Dax and Adam wanted to keep it open source as is. (Dax's commits were somehow squashed and removed at this point too) So they ended up rewriting opencode with the same name in TypeScript TUI away from Kujtim's vision. And thats where we are, since then opencode doesn't seem to have much progress done but Dax's opencode is being worked on non-stop.

This is a third party retelling of this story from some post I read, as I came to know about it only after Dax started working on TS TUI for opencode under SST.
