Shout out to all the open-source devs making small things and serving small communities.
Not everything has to be wildly popular for it to be useful or important to folks!

@sellorm in open source it's kind of better to being small, less work, easier community management etc.

Being a large popular project you're going to spend a lot of time on everything else outside of coding which not everyone is suited for or enjoy doing.
