Hi. I had an cool idea for open source project, so I took the challenge to get it started and make proof of concept. It started as one of those “this is going to be so cool for the community”. And it ended up on dusty shelf of unfinished projects. I don’t believe people buy me much “coffee” and had to move on to work on project I want to earn some money with. Was thinking to work on it again when will have more time. But it’s like a year now and I already almost forgot about it, now I remembered about it and I am thinking, maybe I should publish it as it is, messy, with bugs and unfinished features and let someone else from community to take over if they feel like it is worth doing so. Otherwise I think It will just stay on that shelf forever and idea will die with me. From the other hand, if I publish code that is not “good quality” code . Would this show that I am bad programmer? Or if I will eventually start working on it again, I might be able to get some “coffee” with it. I made it in javascript, language I didn’t even know. Because this is VSCode extension. Just somehow struggled through it. I am learning Dart and Flutter, as I want to make some Flutter apps, and now I have some good knowledge with it. So javascript is not my interest at the moment. I am also overthinker, so I don’t even know what am I thinking. Main features somewhat works to show proof of concept (even with bugs). So I suppose I should just publish it on github as is?
