Ask HN: How much time do you spend on “marketing” your open source projects?
I guess the reason to start an open source project is to scratch your own itch (or because you love doing it). But finding users who will try it or collaborate with you may require some type of marketing? So did you create time to do that or is working on the project reward enough for you?
If you have a popular open source project can you tell me a few things like 1) why did you start it? 2) how did people find it? 3) did you post it somewhere to get traction? 4) do you think it's unfair to just work on something you like but never take the time to get the word out?
