I don't see the problem.

I am one of those people that reinvents the wheels because external ones don't fit my use cases.

The fact I can now fork any software and do these changes I always wanted but had no time to is amazing to me.

I do not pretend to sell it or share it, as it is de facto void of any value whatsoever.

That’s OK, but I’ve yet to see someone articulating what exactly doesn’t work in the old product. It’s always “Let’s rewrite or reinvent 90% of it, then add a minuscule variation”. The variation may be interesting, but the reinvent is what’s make it untouchable as no one (including the author) has time to ensure things are right.

A patch or a plugin is ok, but not a whole new project with dubious claims.
