- Zigtools was founded to support the Zig community with editor tooling like ZLS, lsp-kit, and the Zigtools Playground.
- Zigbook, a Zig resource, was released claiming 'zero AI' but was found to be largely AI-generated and plagiarized.
- Zigbook copied Zigtools Playground's WASM blobs and JavaScript code without complying with the MIT license.
- Zigtools sent a PR to correct the license violations, but Zigbook closed it and deleted the description.
- Zigtools advises the Zig community to avoid Zigbook and recommends official learning resources.
- Zigtools is fundraising to support ZLS's full-time maintainer and plans to enhance the Zigtools Playground.
