id like to ask if there is some guideline/advice for asking for open source contributions.

initially i thought i could just have open source code, documentation and communicate about it, but that doesnt seem to work for gaining contributors.

maybe there is something else im overlooking?

contributors would be using their own valuable time and effort so it could just be that my projects are not interesting enough. it might be worth concluding that i should proceed on this solo.

    its a javascript UI framework

    a very satisfied field, with a lot of established mainstream options

      completely understandable conclusion.

      it started off as a curiosity, but i think there is something to it. I’m aiming for something that looks and behaves like react, but without the overhead of the react tooling for transpiling.

      im not trying to take a share of that market, i come across this solution as pf of the chat app project. id like to build up this ui framework well enough to rebuild the chat proct with it… the chat app is made with react and material UI. with this framework, i am aiming to create a more simplified version of the chat app where the “no need to transpile” is a feature for its transparency. perhaps it doesnt make sense right now without the ability to effectively demonstrate it.

        I think your dim repo first impression could be improved; with a repo description (there is none), and instead of a description that requires pre-knowledge and one huge example, a more general, novice-friendly description and intro listing positives and short intro examples demonstrating distinct functionalities/advantages.
