The problem is, the target audience is so niche: CLI users, developers, people who value shallow dependencies, heterogenous environments, and localism. Not by any means unique or even rare, but certainly a minority. And I hate marketing and self-promotion, so it makes it difficult for me to even post release announcements.
Luckily, I’m mostly scratching my own itches, so userbase size isn’t important, but knowing that at least a few other people are getting value out of my work would be nice.
Ima clarify that: large userbases are a royal PITA. Yes, there are benefits, but the sense if obligation can be oppressive, and it’s hard to find ways of saying “no” nicely.
So much software.
