This is why it's important for single devs to be in a community with peers working on different solutions in the same problem space, for cross-pollination of ideas.
One such example is the pixls.us community for photography-related free software. All kinds of devs from projects like RawTherapee, darktable, PhotoFlow, Filmulator, rawproc, G'MIC, and more, plus users, are all in the https://discuss.pixls.us/ https://discuss.pixls.us/ forums and we can all learn from one another and collaborate in ways other than directly contributing code.
- MH15 6y agoDo you know of any other communities similar to pixls.us but for other specializations? That's such a powerful idea!
- CarVac 6y agoNo, but here's an interview with the founder about how it came to be: http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/interview-with-pat-david-at-libre-graphics-meeting-2019 http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/interview-with-pat-... Hopefully others can learn from him and forge their own collaborative communities.
