One FOSS maintainer lesson for your younger self

Take small steps. Start with minor contributions and slowly fall in love with the project before jumping into big changes. When you genuinely care about what you're building, every contribution becomes satisfying.

Why do you do it? Why do you bother maintaining a FOSS project?

I started as an amateur in Android development, and FOSS projects played a huge role in helping me grow. Now, maintaining a FOSS project feels meaningful because I get to give others the same opportunity to learn, improve, and become better developers—just like I did.

If your repo had a theme song, what would it be?

I don’t have a specific theme song for the repository, but if I had to choose one, it would be “Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si” from Life in a… Metro.

The song’s actual meaning is different, but it beautifully captures the idea of communication.

Which file in your project would you most like to set on fire?
