Hm; and yes, and no... in my case at least, I personally remember having more of those others - and for which I'm super grateful, they mean A LOT to me - i.e. the likes of, literally:

- The unforgeable "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18295453 - my all time favourite comment that I don't stop mentioning when telling the story of my project, and that always makes my heart go warm.

- The pure "Just wanted to give you a thumbs up!" 'issue' - no strings attached, no "but [could you do this or this for me]"... https://github.com/akavel/up/issues/14 - plus, for some bonus love, a few follow-ups from other wonderful people... not even counting the people expressing their appreciation via the emoticons...

- A person came back a couple years later and said, they use and like my tool so much, they decided in act of gratitude to give me not one but three logo sketches that I could choose from; then they had enough patience to bear my pickiness until I fortunately finally came back to senses and took the first one of the sketches, which was IMO the best one from the beginning. https://github.com/akavel/up/issues/48

I still would say "yes, and no..." by which I mean, I'm still tired of this project enough that I can't muster strength to get back to it... sure, there were bug reports, and honestly, I understand and appreciate... I would open them too, and I treat them with respect... as I feel treated too (though also I have the fortune to be able to ignore or shut down occasional stupidity or demands). Yet I am still tired and drained of energy for now for this project. I sometimes muster a bit of it and improve some small parts. Sometimes. Maybe some day I'll get enough energy to again put more work in it. To finish some neglected PRs in need of love. So, as much as random demands can be part of the stress, and certainly don't make things easier, especially for some creators; as much as this, I think there must be also other psychological factors at play.
