I’ve noticed something odd while working on an open-source project. Usage grows slowly, but feedback is almost nonexistent. No issues, no complaints, no suggestions.
I’m not complaining, just trying to understand the behavior. As developers, we rely heavily on open source, but most of us stay silent unless something is severely broken.
For those who use OSS regularly, what usually makes you speak up? And what makes you stay quiet even when you have opinions?
I’m asking because I’m trying to decide whether silence should be interpreted as a good sign, or as missing signal.
