It sounds like you should shut it down as it drags you down more than it motivates you. Sometimes you just have to move on! Much has also happend with bash and windows since 2009, but you should keep your users email and let them know about your new adventures, this way you already have people that know you can deliver! :)
Maybe it would motivate you to develop this in the public? Like having all issues and pullrequests open?
Also your website does not mention your names at all, which makes it very non-personal. If you show the people behind, users can often relatet more on a personal level and know that is a small but healthy side project.
- giis 10y agothanks for the great suggestions. Couple of times we thought about adding our names and didn't do it. Let me add them first. Shutdown the project is a hard decision, considering the time-effort went into this project (may be personally attached to it?) but on the positive side, it gives lot of time for new projects too. Moving to Github and having PR/issues will provide motivation.
- kevinsimper 10y agoBut what are you looking for in this project? It is not really clear what your goals are, the project seems very broad. If the project is for everybody, then it is for nobody! I learned that the hard way myself. If you for example chose education specifically, then you can reach out to professors, because it doesn't sound like you're talking to your users. That will make it a lot easier!
- giis 10y agoIts started as simple educational project (commandline/bash) but the project scope got expanded as we tried new things (mysql,programming & admin!). I'll cut-down unnecessary features & make it narrow. thanks
