One FOSS maintainer lesson for your younger self
Build what sparks your curiosity. Even if similar tools already exist, your unique perspective can add something valuable. Don’t wait for perfection - share your work with the world as it evolves.
Why do you do it? Why do you bother maintaining a FOSS project?
For me, open-sourcing the project brings in more eyes, suggestions, and issues - ultimately improving the software far more than if it were closed. I use a lot of self-hosted FOSS tools myself, and it would be incredibly fulfilling to see others using and benefiting from something I’ve built too.
