I actually only went through a significant portion of the readme (through the CromFS part) because of your comment, and i just don't see it. I see a person who wrote actually useful software that is multi-platform and gives the positives and negatives of the software they wrote compared to alternatives available today.
In every test DwarFS compared favorably, and on tests where one aspect was marginal, the DwarFS code was better in other regards: power at the wall, extract/read times, etc.
How would it be better presented by a solo developer?
I can almost hear “and if you call now, you get this amazing towel for free!”
But judging by the comments here, it seems I’m more sensitive to this tone than most.

It seems like a minor nit that could be "fixed", especially since the "it gets better" is in reference to "not only smaller, but also much faster" and it's not an insignificant performance increase, it's 100 times faster. Basically everyone (mostly) uses squashfs, and this absolutely trounces it - according to the author.
anyhow i hope my reply wasn't too extra
