Are you sad because your open-source project didn't get traction?
That happens all the time with most people, I guess. Someday it may attract some people, but it is not a "fair" game. Chance matters a lot.
I have at least 10 libraries on GitHub that I think should have gained some visibility, but didn't. There are thousands of similar cases.
I suggest that you keep the idea machine on and keep building stuff.
- zzzcpan 9y agoVisibility is the easiest part, when you need it - just advertise and do PR, no reason to rely on a pure chance. Open source projects are often accepted by a lot of places, that do not allow ads for commercial products and services. But then you are going to have the same problem as others pointed out - doing free work. So unless you find a way to make your work on this project sustainable there is little point in gaining visibility.
- fiatjaf 9y agoYou can only say that after you've had visibility.
