A small brief about your project
I maintain Oore CI, Tagflow, and gpuicn. They cover mobile CI and distribution, rich content in Flutter, and open-code UI components for GPUI.
One FOSS maintainer lesson for your younger self
Don't try to perfect everything before you share it. No matter how carefully you work, you will miss something. Let people point out the flaws, fix them, and keep improving.
Why do you do it? Why do you bother maintaining a FOSS project?
I love coding, and it brings me joy to build things that can be useful to other people. I maintain open source for the love of the game.
Which file in your project would you most like to set on fire?
If I had to pick, Tagflow's component_registry.dart. A lot of rendering behavior lives in that one file. I'd rather split it up than actually burn it.
If you had to use one emoji to convey what it is like to be a FOSS maintainer, what would it be?
