@dansup If projects stall, users get worried or upset, even entitled. (That's so weird.)
You're right that there's a message in this: people fear momentum is going down.
Thing is: you're not only the core maintainer, you're also the core ideator of stuff. You can't ideate while you maintain.
One solution is to schedule time while trying not to spread yourself too thin.
Another could be to split the work and "hire" unpaid open source maintainers.
Or listen less to complaints :)
