    I see both sides here.

    On one hand, you do have some good ideas in there, and I understand wanting to write them down and push for them.

    On the other, I'm also a developer and too many issues can become spammy, and every day at work I mark issues as "not prioritized" or "won't do". They may be valid ideas, but I'm heads down on other more critical work that I need to focus on now.

    I think it's important to remember that the devs are two devs, they don't have a project manager/PO to regulate issues and prioritize them. It's also an open source project, so a more valid use of time would be developing features yourself or gathering people who want to implement them and opening pull requests, rather than opening a ton of issues.

    Also, I think you'd get things across the finish line if instead of opening 20 issues, you focused on one, maybe two, and pushed those really hard. Prioritize the issues yourself. Get those one or two done, then focus on the next. If you catapult 20 over the wall then it just looks like 20 issues and none of them are particularly important. The phrase "If everything is important, then nothing is important" definitely applies.

    That being said, I'd definitely appreciate more transparency from the devs on the roadmap they envision, issues they want to focus on, and if they have capacity for us users to vote on our most critical features.

      I don't really care all that much about any particular issue. I enjoy copying the ideas suggested by others in the fediverse and transforming them into new issues, as many individuals do not take this initiative.
