I think we are in an age where there is so much saturation and noise in every corner of the internet and with the rise of AI everyone is building "disposable" software for their own niche use or what THEY think is new and unique that it's impossible to generate organic traffic anymore. All the "hot" projects are botted to hell with most likely paid promos on places like twitter to promote their project and botted stars on github. Everyone is throwing their own project out in the void and hoping someone will adopt it. I have resigned to just working on what I enjoy and find useful that fills a niche somewhere and just having fun with it.

I agree with you completely! This honestly evolved beyond what i was expecting. It started as a learning tool for my work colleagues and evolved into a local tool they use. As a DOD/DOW employ i cant broadcast my project inside the walls of my building, and this is my way of spreading the love (at a small cost to cover my dev tools)

I love this weird world we live in now lol
