I was using an open source Android app once. The app was (deliberately) missing some simple features that I wanted. I was also interested in tinkering with Android development, so I proceeded to fork the app and hack in my feature (just to scratch my own itch). As a further learning exercise, I decides to try and publish it on F-Droid, which I eventually managed to do (once again solely because I wanted to tinker with it). I made no attempt to promote the app and did not really expect anyone to use it. Since then it has not become a runaway success, but there must be some folks using it since the repo has received a number of stars/issues/PRs. We have continued to mature the app and build out more features. (Not at all what I had expected when I sat down to hack in the first change....)
