It's comments like this that make me realize that not everyone has an utilitarian mindset. I'd be happy to share my weekend project if someone expressed interest, even if it wasn't perfect. Just don't expect me to support it.
Support is one and you can't blindly assume that it's in a shareable format from a quick braindump sprint. Lots of hardcoded personal stuff, wonky incomplete features, mixed absolute and relative paths etc. It was NEVER intended to be shared and would require time to cleanup to even distribute a binary. It also works based on how I use youtube, it's not a general purpose tool so it's super opinionated.
Yeah, I think with the "share everything" mentality and everyone building everything in reusable jS snippets (thus, the huge repositories of code and duplicated projects); the general share of people forget that some people still code...for themself. And that those projects don't necessarily have a simple "settings.toml" to edit for paths or settings; nor the tons of effort that goes into making such a project configurable in the first place.
And there's nothing wrong with that. Like the dozens of PoC codebases I have lying around my PC that no one will (or needs to) ever see.
