Probably the single most impressive marketing effort ever for a OSS web framework was the 15 minute Rails build a blog demo. It's slick, polished, has a clear connection to a use-case which potential users of a framework will find motivational, and shows off a lot of why you'd actually care about Rails. Unfortunately, the vast majority of OSS projects do not have that level of savvy in their marketing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUH1hewXnC0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUH1hewXnC0 You might consider building a Mithril version for this, either for your todo list example or something with a bit more oomph to it. I don't spend enough time with front end developers to know what would be clearly amazing for them. (Multiplayer 2048 in 15 minutes, maybe?) Regarding getting it to a wider audience: Conference talks, taking it around individually to people who should be using it, writing and writing and writing about it, creating complements of the OSS and using them as friendcatchers for it, etc, are every bit as effective for OSS as they are for paid products.
