Why do I have to keep maintaining my open source project? because nobody is using it

    Well... It is YOUR project, so I'd assume you'd maintain it...

    If even you aren't using it, perhaps it wasn't a good idea in the first place. If so, you might want to find a way to kill it.

    (You said nobody was using it. Unless you consider yourself to be nobody, I'm assuming that means you aren't using it either.)

    @powerfulparadox Actually I am using the lib, because it helps me lot, the reason I open sourced it , so it could help others . May be I am wrong about that

    @5anthosh Well, it's likely a smaller problem than you expected, a discoverability problem, or you're targeting a smaller subset of people with the problem than would be ideal (most people use different libraries/combinations of libraries, they solve it themselves every time it comes up/they think it's trivial, etc.). Or, you managed some combination of the three. Given that most of what I'm seeing on the GitHub page is around a month old, you're probably worrying about this far too early. Acquiring users can take time. I would give it at least 6 months before getting too concerned.
