This is really cool. Besides the obvious “have idea, build idea”, how can one start a successful challenging open source project like this?

- WillAdams 2y agoThe first consideration is which tool/toolkit/language, and that almost always induces analysis-paralysis in me. Back when I was doing typography when a new tool came out I'd always do a type specimen book for whatever typeface I was currently fascinated by --- which is a bit better than "Lorem ipsum", or by extension, "Hello World" --- perhaps all GUI development systems should offer an equivalent to Steve Jobs' "5-minute word-processor demo" for NeXTstep?
- warkdarrior 2y agoTool/toolkit/language should be the final consideration, right before you start coding. The first question is who your target audience is and what functionality best serves them.
