Thanks for sharing this, I'm hoping it gets some traction on HN. It seems like a great place to not only vet your idea but to also build a diverse goal-oriented team and I look forward to posting my side-projects on it.

I'd also recommend cross-posting it over on ProductHunt and BetaList.

Hey, thank you kindly for this. I hope so too! I need to do a relaunch on Product hunt actually, did one a while ago and it kind of flopped. Need to get into that routine of constantly launching (rather than doing just one big launch.)

If you ever do decide to post a project on there, get in touch and I can try to help out where I can.

Did you ever think of dogfooding your project? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food

I’d considered it and partially done it. The issue is that we don’t really fit our own criteria. Without a widget to sell quickly or relying on growth to make profit, it’s a big ask to expect that contributors will wait potentially years for a payout. I see it being a valuable route to take once we’ve matured a bit though.
