  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • lunasec

    LunaSec - Dependency Security Scanner that automatically notifies you about vulnerabilities like Log4Shell or node-ipc in your Pull Requests and Builds. Protect yourself in 30 seconds with the LunaTrace GitHub App: https://github.com/marketplace/lunatrace-by-lunasec/

  • - Put the project into Awesome Lists so that people will actually find it (also helps with SEO)

    - Add a license to the repo and, if you really want people to trust it, add license headers to every file (I see _so many_ projects without even a LICENSE file. Without this, it's illegal to use the code at all!)

    Beyond all of that, Docs help a lot too, as does a "legit" looking website, but you can get away with pretty crappy docs if you do all of the above.
