I'm not really having doubts but I am trying to figure out the right way to approach this. I have spent many years writing code thinking as an engineer if I just built the technical solutions I would figure out the rest but it's clear this isn't about code. Any of us could implement this. What really matters is developing mindshare. I previously bootstrapped the open source project and went on to raise VC funding. In the months before raising money I had become disillusioned with my efforts. I had to stop coding and use a different skill to convince investors to give me a chance. In this scenario I do feel it's the same only this time I need to convince the developer community that this is worthwhile and maybe crowdfund to get started?

If we cater to the few who really care, maybe it's enough to at least build something self sustaining for us and the people around us.
