Usually this is a sign of a project that isn't ready for a lot of attention. It's very brave and a little bit stupid to offer Open Source to the world (especially without a sustainability plan), if you put a lot of effort into 'marketing' at an early stage you've probably just overpromised to people not focused on that domain, won't be able to deliver, and will burn out, and it will become yet another abandoned project.
Perhaps in a few years, as the project picks up uses and contributors, it will get its own website and support network and be easy to understand and use by "anyone."
- bspammer 2y agoI can’t tell if your comment was meant to be ironic but OSM has been around for 20 years, and its data is used by billions of people.
- davidy123 2y agoThe comment was about https://github.com/markuman/sms https://github.com/markuman/sms, not OSM.
- Guvante 2y agoI don't think this project is looking for a lot of attention. It is more like a sample of cool stuff you can do.
- fodkodrasz 2y agoI agree, but still 1-2 paragraph about why this was made, what is for laymans, and what it is in terms of OSM ecosystem. Possibly my extrovert self makes it natural to write similar intros to repos I make public. (I even used to blog!)
