Hi Ayush, Yes, that's correct—there aren't many contributors to the project, which is exactly why I reached out for your help. As I mentioned in a previous email, I'm unsure how to find people with the right skill set who are willing to contribute. To be honest, my social skills aren't the strongest, which is why I turned to the Apache community. Where else can I find people who are passionate about open-source? Of course, if you're not able to help, I'll continue developing the project on my own.
