I realized that I wanted to make dev.to after dipping my toes into the open-source-maintainer water with a more experimental project.

I'd been very weary of everything you outlined here, so I wasn't interested in the journey if it wasn't the right thing. I learned in my little experiment that open source was indeed a lot of work, but if it's directed at a project you are dedicated to spending a lot of work on no matter what, it is an amazing thing.

Great little summarizing post and I couldn't have said it better myself.
