BUILD A COMMUNITY, NOT A FRAMEWORK - Matteo Collina - jsday 2020
You are watching from the sides, dreaming about building the next (popular?) framework or library in your field. You dream about presenting your creation in front of hundreds of people at OpenJS World. You believe in yourself, and suddenly you have thousands of downloads per month and developers relying on you to maintain your library. You think you’ve made it. Instead, it is only the beginning. What makes an Open Source library or framework successful? Does something become popular because it’s technologically superior, or shows a clear innovation path? A single maintainer can only do so much, dividing their time between adding new features, fixing bugs and updating dependencies. Maintaining a successful Open Source project is a big burden for a single individual, often working on their own time. You need something else - you need a community.
