programming grumbling
Please stop making "alternative to <other thing>" projects with no further information! Why does it exist, what is different about it, when and why might I want to use it instead, when and why should I not?
It's okay if the answer is just "it's probably not better, I just wanted to make my own thing" but then *say so*! Don't leave me and many others guessing what the purpose is, spawning all sorts of imagined differences and other misinformation as people try to explain away the existence of two options

Corollary: don't make your project website look like "a project that's in it for the long haul" if it's just meant to be a short-lived hobby project. Again, hobby projects are completely fine, but you need to communicate that that is what it is!

(I don't really give a fuck about companies deciding to build on unpaid labour and getting burned in the process, but this stuff affects other people too, building community projects - often people who do *not* have copious amounts of time on company dime to fix and replace things later!)
