Hi people,

I need your advice and opinion.

I have a project on GitHub that I wasn't updating for a while:

https://github.com/ivanilves/xiringuito

And it still works kinda OK for me, but technically it's a hard to maintain gibberish and I'm thinking about rewriting it in a statically compiled language, add unit testing and be able to incorporate different advanced features without making myself and others cry.

HOWEVER: I doubt this makes sense and fear to just lose time on it.

Could you please help me with a decision:

If you think it's worth rewriting, add a GitHub star on https://github.com/ivanilves/xiringuito

If you think it's a pile of shite and it should die, no problem, just ignore it :)

It already has 954 stars for now and if number of stars goes 1k+ this month, I'll rewrite it. If not, it would be a sign it's a [c/t]rap and I need to run away and forget ;)

THANK YOU!
