Why we never thank open source maintainers

Mine usually go something along the lines of:

"Hi, I use your app and it's wonderful."

So far so good.

It's immediately followed by

"But it would be perfect if it had <niche feature only needed by that person's individual use case> "

You'd be surprised how many others had the same use case.

This kind of feedback is wealth.

Even if the use case seems very individual, maybe a useful generalization of it can be found which still covers that case but is of broader use.
