I've just completed my first useful library and have shared it on git-hub (https://github.com/anfurny/ALive-Fields).<p>But nobody cares, or more realistically, nobody is encountering it. Basically, I've spent a lot of my time sharing this library, and I think people could use it, I just don't know of any good place to connect with those people.<p>I don't have a blog or a twitter or publicize on (and even if I did I'd still not be sure how to publicize those).<p>P.S. If this project is redundant because somebody else is already doing it better in PHP, let me know, but I haven't seen anything like it yet.
If someone can't figure out what it is in the first 30 seconds, they move on -- and that's being generous. The truth is probably more like 8 seconds.<p>And in 30 seconds I have no clue what your project is, does, or what problem it solves.<p>Oh and your README isn't IN the README. Seriously?!
My impression was that having a wiki for the project superseded a readme (with the home node essentially being a better formatted readme).<p>But the SEO point is very good, I hadn't thought about that.<p>I'm still curious about any places I can go and put this in front of people instead of hoping they chance upon it.
Your readme should include:<p>What problem does it solve? How much effort will it take for me to understand it well enough to use it?<p>It should <i>not</i> consist entirely of a line telling me to read index.php.
