Are you speaking of the dull spoon?

It's a quote from Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, which is a far underrated movie based on performances by Alan Rickman and Morgan Freeman.

Have you tried using clean kitchen scissors? Far better than the pizza cutter.

I don't know, but the two brothers who stole a calendar each got six months.

I found a strange looking coin on the sidewalk, but I can't make heads nor tails out of it.

When I was young my dad gave me money to go downtown and pay the electric bill but instead I bought raffle tickets for a chance to win a new truck.
I told my dad when I got home what I had done and he beat my butt but the next morning there was a new truck in the driveway.
We all held each other and cried, especially me because it was the truck from the electric company there to turn off the lights.
...dad beat my butt again.

They had trucks back then Mike?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Back then we called them Conestoga's.

This is what I get for promoting my code.
Now I have to maintain it.
I was just in the middle of making my EPUB stuff when someone opens an issue on my GFX project, saying it breaks on the newer ESP-IDF. So now I stop what I'm doing to fix that, which takes 20-30 minutes to build the almost two dozen projects involved. And then I have to make the new zip, update the article here, etc. Takes me about an hour of overhead to make even the smallest change to the public facing codebase, which I guess is how it should be, but I hoped for less overhead on a solitary project, even one of this size.
Anyway, it's my fault. It's popular enough that I probably will always have to maintain it forever now.
I wish I had some contributors though.
I'm not sure what sort of unsavory things I'm expected to do in order to attract them, but I'm eager to learn.

Well, you obviously need more github contributors to help out.
Disclaimer: I know nothing about this area of marketing.
but, it seems to me that you need to market/advertise better (if "better" is even the correct term here?). Get the word out that you need contributors for your source repo. find forums that cater to what you are working on and start advertising.
make sure your source repo has plenty of documentation that is searchable via Google, etc. key words, tags, whatever.

best of luck.

Thanks. I've had some people out there that were interested but nobody that was proficient/willing-to-become-proficient at Generic Programming in C++ which is sort of necessary to code on this project.
The trouble is essentially demographics, I think. I get the Arduino and ESP32 hobbyist crowd, not a professional development crowd. The audience tends to be more green when it comes to coding, with more skills in the circuit building arena than in doing arcane compiler magic with C++.
I'll probably find some folks eventually when I produce drivers for ARM and stuff, and get more veterans involved in using it.
