Unsolicited advice for open source maintainers: when you start feeling those tendrils of burnout, give yourself permission to hack on something in your project which *doesn't* move the needle. Literally tack into the wind.
You maintain this project because you like the technology, and most of the time OSS burnout comes from the endless Issue queue and not from code. So give yourself permission to enjoy the code for a change.
Or just chill. That's okay too <3
