Ask HN: How do you grow OSS projects?

2•tarasyarema•1h ago
Hey there, founder of a startup here which main product is an oss project.

We've been trying to grow the project for months, and it's lowkey growing in stars and adoption. But it's linear.

We see other projects do big jumps and hit thousands of stars in days. Going viral in HN, X, etc.

We believe that real adoption might not come from one day to another, and the teams using us are happy and want to use us more.

Now, I hate to spam in places like hn or other forums, but what strategies have you found working? Specially in the realm of AI.

Obviously if you ask ai, it's always: launch in HN, PH, etc, etc.

We post a lot on x, linkedin and such, but would love to push the adoption curve up.

Any help welcome!

Cheers,

Won't spam my project here, if you want to check it it's on gh -> desplega-ai/agent-swarm

:D I guess it's like asking "how to get rich"

I never really figured that one out but I never really tried to be honest. Mostly because my motivation has always been to fix my problem, I never really cared who else was using it or not. I've only received a handful of PR's over the years across all my projects. I suspect I'll never get any new ones since I got fed up with github and moved to codeberg, which (to my delight) is like kryptonite for sloppers.
