If YOU don't even use it, maybe it's just not worth it. But presumably you meant "nobody [else] uses it".
I have a project like that too, where there's virtually no pre-existing discussion of the topic it relates to online. But I use it, and that is enough motivation to keep developing.

Why did you make it open sores to begin with? Never saw the point beyond the artificial CV padding.
When you give something away, you never get anything back. Go look at stats for voluntary donations, for example. Donationware guys speak of ~$1 donation per couple thousand downloads. Also hooktube posted their stats and it was lol.

open source =/= free
I don't understand why everyone thinks that anything under the GPL license has to be free. There are plenty of ways to sell the program and source code (together or separately)

Those two are connected.

Don't give him the name. Jow Forums is full of purplehairs and trannies, they'll spam report you.

Post github link OP, I'll give you a sympathy user. And flood your bugtracker until you feel worthless

Not bad, user.

People probably think "free software" as in "free beer".
