Well, you obviously need more github contributors to help out. Disclaimer: I know nothing about this area of marketing. but, it seems to me that you need to market/advertise better (if "better" is even the correct term here?). Get the word out that you need contributors for your source repo. find forums that cater to what you are working on and start advertising. make sure your source repo has plenty of documentation that is searchable via Google, etc. key words, tags, whatever. GitHub - rdp/open-source-how-to-popularize-your-project[^] best of luck. :thumbsup:
Thanks. I've had some people out there that were interested but nobody that was proficient/willing-to-become-proficient at Generic Programming in C++ which is sort of necessary to code on this project. The trouble is essentially demographics, I think. I get the Arduino and ESP32 hobbyist crowd, not a professional development crowd. The audience tends to be more green when it comes to coding, with more skills in the circuit building arena than in doing arcane compiler magic with C++. I'll probably find some folks eventually when I produce drivers for ARM and stuff, and get more veterans involved in using it.

Thansk for sharing here!

24 stars at github, 2 forks, 33 upvotes at CP + umpteen downloads This is what I get for promoting my code. Now I have to maintain it. I was just in the middle of making my EPUB stuff when someone opens an issue on my GFX project, saying it breaks on the newer ESP-IDF. So now I stop what I'm doing to fix that, which takes 20-30 minutes to build the almost two dozen projects involved. And then I have to make the new zip, update the article here, etc. Takes me about an hour of overhead to make even the smallest change to the public facing codebase, which I guess is how it should be, but I hoped for less overhead on a solitary project, even one of this size. Anyway, it's my fault. It's popular enough that I probably will always have to maintain it forever now. I wish I had some contributors though. :sigh: I'm not sure what sort of unsavory things I'm expected to do in order to attract them, but I'm eager to learn. :laugh:

Unless you graduate from random people making bug reports to people offering to pay you to get an SLA, don't feel obligated to drop what you're in the middle of to rush a fix out. Next week is soon enough; especially if you can save on the overhead by batching the bug fix up with other changes to only do the packaging steps once.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

I do worry that not being responsive to fixes will lead people to abandoning my project, at least while it's still in its relative infancy so I've made it a priority. You think that's overly diligent? I wouldn't put off directly paying work to do it, but I have the time. It's just a matter of where I put my priorities. I'm not really sacrificing anything, but I do worry that the time will come soon when the sheer scope of the project and the maintenance it requires will overwhelm me. I'm human, after all, despite rumors to the contrary. If the project can get some contributors before it snowballs into something I can't manage on my own I'd sleep better.

Oh definitely. The other day I caught two bugs that should have never made it into my code. They weren't impacting code I was using, until they did, of course. One was I had assigned a signed value to a size_t (which strangely works in GCC under 64 bit minigw on windows - but not on the ESP32), and another I was subtracting a value where I should have been adding a value that was likely to be negative. If I had someone else around to look at it, they'd catch things like this. Who knows what else lurks? This codebase is pretty complicated at this point.

i have factual evidence that Spiritual witches are real in redding and sacramento california. i am a 57 year old man who just became a spiritual witch by passing a hard witches test last week, and joining a covenent of universe witches. I fell in love with one of these witches that i met in redding, california,so maybe she cast a spell on me to make me love a witch. this is incredible evidence that that real witch craft is being practiced in redding and sacramento california. another fact about real witch craft is i have been sleeping with a spiritual form of a witch last week in my redding home in the last three weeks. the 24 year old young women witch i was sleeping spiritualy with smeeled with a strong odor in bed, but i did not complain about the strong odor to her. you can also contact me a danhar07@charter.net. and also contact me anytime at at 530-339-6800. i would enjoy talking to you about what it s like to fall in love with a beautifull,24 year old,female spiritual witch. i just want to spend every minute with making love with this female witch.

Well, you made it open source and I believe that if you put some code into your project that states that it's open source for a trial period and then make it upgradable to your next pivot on your platform, then maybe you will get some sponsorship and maybe even a little credit for your hard work! Programmer to Programmer, it's not as easy as it used to be. There's a lot of competition now and if you put all of your eggs in one basket you're asking for a migraine. JUST MY HONEST OPINION. -RANDY
