I agree with “does it work for me, then it’s a success” to a certain extent. I am really happy with my project, it does what I needed it to do, and my company allowed me to open-source it. If that was all that happened I would still consider my project a success. What has been really enjoyable for me, however, is working with contributors and seeing developers use the tool. So I feel like - for me at least - there has to be more than just building and releasing it.
