I’m sorry to be this frank, but if you weren’t even aware of the importance of transactional safety for read-modify-write operations, you shouldn’t be in the business of creating such a library. This is really basic database stuff.

If we allow ignorance to be the gatekeeper of progress, we will stifle the growth of every individual around us.
No one person can know everything. Teaching how to solve these problems will produce better software and better people too.

I have no issues with the OP having that library as a side project and learning experience. But at their experience level it’s not suitable to be promoted publicly. To be fair, they only asked for opinions on it.

If I had a time machine, I'd use it to identify who in my life gave me this same "advice" and gift them a copy of their obituary from the future.
For a commercial product, yours is honest feedback.
But this isn't that. You popped into a literal show-and-tell to heckle some kid proud of his macaroni art. You didn't even critique the product, just insulted its maker. What the hell is wrong with you to think this is appropriate, or even helpful?
