My Rust oss project grew (quite) a lot this past month. Would love advice on what to do next

I’ve been building Proxelar, a Rust CLI project, and over the last month it got a lot more attention than I expected. It also recently hit 750 stars on GitHub, which I’m really grateful for.

I also just got it published on Homebrew, which is a big milestone for me.

I’m not posting to promote it so much as to ask for advice from people here who’ve turned OSS projects into tools people actually use.

Right now I’m trying to think less about “what feature should I add next?” and more about bigger questions like:

• what use cases are actually worth doubling down on
• how to avoid growing the project in the wrong direction
• what makes a CLI tool go from “interesting” to something people keep installed and actually use in production?
• how to make the project easier for contributors to join without creating a lot of overhead

I’d also love to bring in contributors over time, but I want to do that in a way that feels genuine and sustainable.

If you’ve been at this stage with a oss project before, I’d really appreciate any advice on what matters most next.
