if imma build a fedi server and a fedi client it's not gonna be some ongoing project for the commons but an ongoing project for me.
I'll share the code for it, but the ongoing maintenance of it on my end will be to make it keep getting closer to what I want for my website.
because that's what it is, the engine behind my website, ultimately.

this is me talking out loud about being able to do open source projects without it turning into an open source project.
nobody has to take on a git repo and issue tracker and release schedule and kanban board to do an open source thing. you can just do the thing and open the source and walk away as much as you want. no one can stop you.

if I then use it to blog about how I use it, I can probably distill a user's guide out of that. no reason not to share that too, it'd already be on my blog as I wrote it.
if people hit me up and tell me about bugs they found in my stuff, I could look at fixing them. if they pointed towards a fix I could use their fix.

if I can build it in such a way that I see how to reuse it for other websites I need or want to build, that's gravy and I'll head that direction because I'm lazy and like reusing shit.
if I can build it with lots of inline documentation so I don't confuse future me it might be pretty easy to screw with for future whoever.
