Kinda anecdotal, but I've been working on OSS libraries for the last few years and what I've learned is very similar: 80% of the features aren't used by anyone, and if someone really wants something they just open an issue.
- ratww 7y agoYeah, same experience here. I tend to be very stubborn about adding features to libraries, though. A handful of times I got pull requests that almost duplicated the size of small libraries just to cover some weird corner cases. One was support for an ORM discontinued since 2012. Another was someone who wanted a build tool to inline their assets during development phase. After asking, most people admitted that they don't really need the feature, but were simply trying to make the app complete.
