Why isn't your stuff more popular?

This seems like a very interesting project. I actually found this repo while trying to figure out if I should use ArduinoJson or cJSON for working with JSON on my ESP32 but then I found your article "Is ArduinoJSON Pointless?" and read it. I like the concept of having a framework containing things you use all the time in development and that's kinda what I'm also working on as I keep learning (i.e. to reuse components for other projects while refining them along the way). Just a genuine question: seeing you've gone really far in this, and it has the potential to be accelerate embedded development, then, why isn't it more popular?
Or am I missing something?

That's a very nice compliment, thank you. Actually I have no idea. Adafruit featured some of my work a year or so ago and I had expected more interest but Adafruit seem to have stopped looking at my blog since then. I have continued to improve the raft libraries and I think they are pretty good now - they certainly save me a lot of time. You can create a complete ESP32 firmware using the command "raft new" and it builds without needing a lot of local toolchain using docker (optionally). It support I2C automatic device detection and publish/subscribe data as well as a lot of other stuff I use for home automation, robotics and art projects. I use it for almost all of my home-grown projects and a company called Robotical uses it for their products. But apart from that it I don't see much use of it. I haven't publicised it much so I expect people just don't know about it.

Oh okay. I guess that makes sense.
Either ways, keep up the good work.
