Remember: It's okay for your F/OSS project to be finished. You don't have shareholders who need you to grow every year. You don't have customers who need to be persuaded to buy a subscription or a new version every year by marketing-driven features. If it solves the problem that you created it to solve, you have won. You now have some software that solves the problem that you had. You are allowed to stop now.
