You can't control how people are going to react. Will they like it? Will they hate it? You never know until you show your work to them. No use stressing out about what you can't control.

So, let's say this tool that you created tanks? If that happens, I'm sure there's more than one lesson to learn from that. And if it catches on but doesn't take the world by storm (maybe it only solves a million dollar issue), then you can take consolation in the fact that what you created helps some people.

The decision to show it to the world is yours. Make a choice, then don't agonize over whether that choice was the right one.
