re Veritasium video. Thanks.
Mea culpa: Rereading my initial reply, I see that I was more telling than asking, contrary to my stated intent.
Engagement and impact. Absolutely. Where do you choose to put your focus? I've always preferred "finding my tribe". Building tools for other people like me. Others who have needs like my mine which aren't fulfilled by today's popular hammerspoon.
Instead of persuading people to use my tools, I hope to be found by people who have framed their problem like I have and just haven't found a suitable solution.
For instance, one niche tool I made was a UI layout manager rooted in graphic design's notions for a "design grid". Kids today would call my bespoke solution "opinionated". At the time I described it as "visually and logically correct".
Alas. My strategy has not made me rich.
I'm actually semi-blocked on releasing more of my tools, because I haven't figured out how to pay the mortgage.
Happy hunting.
