Having 220K+ downloads a month wasn’t something that happened overnight. There is a very challenging journey behind it. In this lecture I’ll share my journey, starting as an idea, implemented by writing 5 code lines and eventually ended up with millions of downloads. I’ll reveal the steps behind the scenes of how to stand out with your open source project, the tools that will help you achieve that, how to gather an open source community, engaging downloads, PRs, stars and forks, up to being tweeted by CEOs of companies of interest.

What will the audience learn?
Together we will learn how anyone can increase the chances of a project that sparks in someone’s head and succeeds in impacting companies which are using it all over the world. The audience will get some tips on how to stand out with a good idea and spread the word about it. I will also show tools I’ve used and how they helped along the way to make my library more fancy and allow more developers to use it and contribute to it.
