Ask HN: How do you find early adopters for an open source library?

3•thisismyswamp•6mo ago
Hey guys, I've been working on tinyORM (tinyorm.com), which is a typescript ORM radically optimized for developer speed, ease of use, and simplicity in general.

I'm already using it myself for all of my ongoing projects, but it would be great to have feedback from external users that would be interested in trying out a solid, albeit not yet that popular library.

It's hard to compete with established libraries backed by corporations on breadth of features, documentation and examples, but I think it's very much possible to compete on quality.

I think the main impediment to adoption is the perception of a library as a toy project, so perhaps I should invest the time into making it look more serious - but doing things like setting up a website for documentation seem like they don't really add much value, as github already has quite a nice interface for documenting a codebase.

Interestingly, this does seem like a similar problem to startups finding their first customers, to whom the advice is usually doing things that don't scale - although that is a bit of a generic thing to say, as it encompasses almost anything.

How would you guys approach finding early adopters?
