I am trying to find a way to bring back the higher level of engagement
the project once enjoyed. I see your point but coding something that
inspires no greater response is kind of a waste.

People have over the last few years coded stuff but none of it has
pulled in the community in a meaningful way. I think that had more to
do with what repo they used.
