Hi — Ray here, a founder working in an adjacent devtools/open-source space. This is a genuine question, not a pitch.
I was reading through Doable and noticed how much of the early surface area is operational, not just “AI app builder” code: the bash + native PowerShell setup paths, Caddy-in-Docker TLS with mkcert, the VPS quickstart, Cloudflare-managed domains, plus deploy targets for Render/Railway/Heroku/Fly/K8s/Coolify. That feels like a lot for an early TypeScript project to keep coherent, especially alongside multi-tenancy, sandboxing, audit logs, MFA, and RBAC.
One outside observation: the repo seems like it will need contributors who are not just React/Next.js people, but people comfortable with self-hosting, Docker, Windows edge cases, and deployment docs. Those are often harder to find because they do not always show up through the usual “good first issue” path.
My question: for a project like Doable, are you already doing anything manual to find those first few contributors — posting in communities, reaching out to people from similar repos, asking users directly — or is contributor discovery not yet a real pain for you?
A short reply is plenty. I’m mainly trying to understand how this looks from the maintainer side at this stage.
