A HEALTHIER WAY TO OPEN SOURCE YOUR CODE
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Open-source project maintainers face many challenges, including the burden of managing user expectations, answering questions, fixing bugs, and reviewing pull requests. Possible solutions for managing open-source projects include clearly stating the project's status, converting all open issues to discussions, blocking the creation of new issues, and unsubscribing from all notifications to reduce the mental and emotional toll on the maintainer. This author encourages sharing code without committing one's time and mental capacity to the entire project.
