Hi Opensource!

I’m the co-creator of F3D, an opensource C++, fast and minimalist 3D viewer: .

For the last two years, we (the maintainers) have been pushing F3D hard. Tons of contributions, regular releases, creation of a discord community, following github standards, improving communication on different platform, thinking about SEO.

We had a few small viral success on reddit, youtube and even hacker news.

As a result, the number of users seems to be growing steadly and we are verry happy about it!

However, our users are not programmers and the number of contributors does not grow at all.

I’ve been trying to improve the situation by creating dev oriented documentation, especially targeted to beginners, and creating dedicated tags in our issues. But not much success so far.

Do you have any ideas how to improve that situation ? I just want people to take an interest in the project, try it out and start helping wherever they can. We are trying to help as much as we can on discord but it has not proven very successful.

Feel free to share your thoughts on what we have been missing, and if the projet looks like something you may be interested by, feel free to join!
