No, I'm talking about the PIT project. Because on the contrary, my project is about GIF I only posted once today, I couldn't repost it many times because I created it yesterday, I just don't know what to do, I feel useless because I create projects that I myself find useful, I can't create others because they don't interest me.

I was just writing an article about this - there’s sooo many undiscovered projects/dark code in the world. It’s hard to know what to do about it; especially as cost of development keeps decreasing. One thing you can do at least is to make something for yourself or a real concrete audience, not a hypothetical audience that might not materialize.

  I don't know, but to even interest a specific audience, you also need to recommend it, because no one will see the project so easily if you just create it.

  Up to 50 submissions per day pointing to github repositories. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=github.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=github.com HN is one default place were projects are posted. I've seen a couple literally 10 minutes old ("first commit"). It's hard (time consuming) to look at them all.

Ah, sorry, I got confused. I even tried to double-check to make sure that it was the same project, but that didn't help. Ah well. What is your goal with your projects? Unless it's commercial, does it actually matter whether or not they take the world by storm? Almost all of my personal projects (and there have been a lot) I made because they addressed a problem that I was having. A few became very popular. Most did not. I think that's pretty normal. Either way, the value of them was in the doing so they were worth the effort. Also, a surprising number of projects only gained popularity or relevance a number of years after I released them. Sometimes relevancy is a matter of timing.

  I don't know exactly what problem they solve, but for example, my PIT project is 150kb in size and works everywhere. My friend ran it on "zsh with powerlevel10k configuration and MesloNGF font." That is, it is platform-independent and convenient, in my opinion this is enough and this is its feature and difference, for example, over tiv.
