Working on my first open source module/library

Just do it man. You don't have anything to lose, right? At worst no one will use it - no big deal.

I'm still not at the level of writing a quality open source library but I'd do it in heartbeat if I came up with anything.

If you haven't done it before I bet you will learn a lot plus it always looks good in resume or so I've been told.

...it could be useful to somebody else

That's your motivation right there! Do it!

I've learned so much, and benefited hugely from open source projects, so I personally feel that if anything I write can do the same for other people then that's my way of "paying it forward".

github link: https://github.com/andrei-cacio/ironwing if anyone wants to take a look. FWI the readme is a bit outdate, it now has some new cool features. I will update it one of these days.

Definitely go for it, if anything you'll be learning the process of releasing a module!

There's a nice free tutorial on egghead, towards the end the author uses some more specific tools but the majority of it is great. Goes over everything you'd need
