Amen. Especially on open source projects where just enough people use it to have an active user base, but not enough where you have a good stable of contributors. I’ve burned myself out on a handful of projects like this and also why I haven’t started any new ones lately. It’s very tiring (doubly so if maintaining open source isn’t part of your paid job, so you’re doing it on your free time).
