This is an insanely crowded space and the answer depends on your perspective
Are you trying to turn the open source into a money making thing? What makes yours better than the 1000s of other options? Marketing, branding, and luck are probably what determines the winners
Are you making it for yourself and share it just to share it? Don't worry about metrics and build something you love to use yourself. Write docs and make a discord. Projects with 10s of users can be just fine. Getting even one power user in your discord will help the motivation.
