Description of the proposed talk: In this talk, I'll be going over how and why I started building Blaze as an open-source project 3 years ago and what I've learned about open-source along the way.

When / Why / How I started contributing to FOSS.
About Blaze:
The inception of the idea for building Blaze and its first commit.
How it blew up on Product Hunt and broke itself.
Open-source technologies it uses under the hood.
Learnings that I plan to cover:
There are more issue contributors out there than code contributors.
Why being a sole maintainer is not easy.
FOSS software is still very much limited to tech nerds:
Why an average Joe does not know about your FOSS project.
How can this be possibly solved?
Spreading knowledge about OSS licenses and ethics.
Sponsorships and donations.
