What do expect from an open source project?
Hey folks 👋,
I am currently redesigning the landing page of my open source project which you can find here: https://auth.vulpo.dev/
I am still in the process of figuring out what content I should put on the landing page and I was wondering, what are you looking for when you evaluate an open source project?
I have already covered a few minor things that are important to me:
- Current Version
- Link to Guides | API docs | GitHub
- Demo of the product: Code and UI Example
What else is important to you?
In the early days, I would strongly encourage leveraging existing platforms to communicate with your audience, i.e. GitHub. Landing pages are great when you have an establish project or commercial goals (which you did not indicate). If your goal is increasing your software adoption, then sticking with GitHub (good README.md, closed issues, etc) is the fastest way to grow.
