My suggestion though is that your issues come from two things.
One, OSS is so very crowded. It's difficult to stand out just through social media, HN, Reddit etc. You need a base of committed users.
Two... I don't know your exact domain, but it feels very... enterprise. And enterprise users like to pay. They don't want something free that they need to maintain, they're buying a solution precisely so they needn't in-source the expertise.
I was just about to make the same comment. I suppose if your definition of success is getting the most github stars, that really narrows the ways you can achieve success.
Well, it's 65 stars at the time of writing.

Are GitHub stars a good measurement of success?
