0- My open source project is: https://github.com/service-bot/servicebot Website: https://servicebot.io

1- We started it because we were tired of sending manual invoices to our clients for custom web application development work. We couldn't connect our invoices, customers, and services we provided to our customers in a single place. So we built Servicebot to automate the process of invoicing through Stripe. Creating a self service portal for customers to order more work, approve existing and future work. And we open sourced.

2- We have been writing blog content to show people how Servicebot will help cut business cost but automating the billing and customer management processes.

3- We have been posting it on Medium, Reddit, HN, and a lot of word of the mouth.

4- I don't think unfair is the right word. I think it's lack of knowledge. We spent a lot more time developing a solution for our itch than to think about marketing and product roll out.
