I have published a open-source date-time library to Github and Maven Central last year. I never promote it, so it receives only 1 star in Github. I want to see if there is any one using it besides me, so I didn’t upgrade the usage of it to the most recent version in my other projects.

Today, the statistics of downloads is out. There are 70+ downloads for the most recent version, really surprising! That really motivates me to continue evolving it (although it seems not much area to evolve)!

Just want to know, would you dare to use a library with only 1 star? If yes, why?

Another question is, I want the library to be more helpful to others by supporting timezone changes / DST. But I live in a city without timezone changes / DST. Where can I get started about it? I have read articles like Wikipedia, but I don’t quite understand the rules.
