Just Wanted to Say Thanks

• sata-license

  4 423 0.0

  The Star And Thank Author License(SATA License)

It's a wonderful idea however it should be a nudge and not a requirement. A software with a SATA license as proposed there could not be redistributed by a Linux distro, because the distro could not enforce the SATA with the end user.

This is also tracked as an open issue:

• uncap

  13 1,024 0.0 C

  Map Caps Lock to Escape or any key to any key

Here is one I received about a year ago: https://github.com/susam/uncap/issues/9 . It made my day! The GitHub user interface should encourage this as a feature.

• simple_recommender

  2 121 0.0 Ruby

  A simple recommendation engine for Rails/Postgres

I did the same a while ago with a really useful tool that had helped me save a lot of time [0].

I think it's a really good idea to provide thanks and gratitude like this because I know its very validating and motivational for someone to reach out like this.

This should be especially true for more niche projects that gather less recognition but you can still find very useful.

• node-resque

  4 1,334 8.0 TypeScript

  Node.js Background jobs backed by redis.

  

This inspired me so I will find more time to do this as well. Went ahead and started at one of my favorite projects that I use across several professional and personal projects :)

Not at all. I've been thanking Scott for making lumen every thanksgiving for several years now. https://github.com/sctb/lumen

• Element

  615 10,619 9.9 TypeScript

  A glossy Matrix collaboration client for the web.

  

I think we've only had one 'thank you' GitHub issue for Matrix/Element (Riot) in 6 years, but it was hugely appreciated and continues to make folks smile when they make a coffee in the office (back when we had an office): https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/8752

• capacitor

  154 11,126 9.4 JavaScript

  Build cross-platform Native Progressive Web Apps for iOS, Android, and the Web ⚡️

  

> Critics, on the other hand, are disproportionately loud.

I recently saw this comment and it kind of haunts me: https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/2688#issuecom.... Wish there was some way to say to the maintainers: "please ignore this guy, thanks for all your effort".

• Tailwind CSS

  1,280 78,370 9.4 TypeScript

  A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

  

This thread motivated me to add a new "kind words" category to the Tailwind CSS discussions area on GitHub — maybe other projects can do the same:

https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/discussions/cate...

Managing OSS stuff really is brutal, and the amount of negative stuff you hear is hugely disproportionate to the amount of positive stuff. Anything to encourage the happy users to speak up once in a while can go a long way toward preventing OSS maintainers from burning out.
