no. It doesnt

I’ve been working on my free self-hosted project for over a year. I built the backend, frontend, and even a mobile app. I poured my heart and soul into it, thinking it would be something people would find useful. But here I am, with only 40 stars on GitHub after sharing it here and Reddit.

I could understand if it were a completely new concept with no existing market, but there are plenty of SaaS products offering similar solutions.

It’s honestly pretty depressing. I see projects blowing up left and right, and it feels like unless you slap "AI" onto the name or make it do something "smart", nobody cares. Every time I check GitHub Trending, it’s AI this, AI that.

I get that AI is the hype right now, but does that mean other projects are doomed to be ignored? What could I have done better? Was it marketing, timing, or just the wrong idea?

I’d love to hear your thoughts or even your own experiences with self-hosted projects that didn’t take off. Maybe I’m not the only one feeling like this...

Edit: Since asked, A CMMS is ideal for organizations needing to manage maintenance tasks, such as:

Facilities Managers (buildings, property, real estate)

Manufacturing/Production Teams (machinery and equipment)

Healthcare Facilities (medical equipment maintenance)

Hospitality Managers (hotels and resorts)

Public Sector (infrastructure and public buildings)

Educational Institutions (campus maintenance)

Utility Companies (power, water, and energy systems)

Hi everyone. We just launched an open source website for maintenance teams like Upkeep. It is intended to help maintainers do their jobs more efficiently and to help management make informed decisions. Please share it or contribute to it in Github
