Lessons from Launching an Open-Source | Alon Kellner

Launching WaloViz taught me a lot, this post is about my experience, conclusions and plans.

Comprehensive and insightful! Thanks for sharing!

Hi, nice project! For sure you have a steep learning curve. One thing that came to my mind is, I just don't need this particular functionality, I have no use case. Maybe others feel like that,too and that might be one reason for stagnation. On the other hand, HoloViz (Panel) seems to be the exactly right ecosystem to adress, as there are so many good example solutions to very special individual problems and I think you are a good fit. Good luck!

@ingebert thanks! To be honest I'm not surprised, it's expected for such a niche tool, but the lessons were important.
And between you and me, WaloViz is my test run for more ambitious future projects :)
