How are participants searched for in open source projects?

Developed a collection of dynamic tables in JavaScript (ECMA6). Created an example of using these tables with Python Flask backend. I wanted to find those who would be interested in this project, but so far I'm only collecting likes in Facebook groups. How can you find participants?

In order to attract contributors, you first need to attract users. For this:

  1. Give a clear description of what problem the project solves. While the description of the project shows how it was created, but not what it does. It is advisable to put this description in one or two sentences that come immediately after the title of the project.
  2. Is this a UI project? Where is the demo link?
  3. Have you already been asked in the comments why it is called my_...? Now the project looks like a craft for personal use
  4. Installation instructions required. Preferably in the form npm install project_name, and not in the form of several paragraphs of text
  5. Run the description at least through grammarly. Now there is too much "Russian English"

I am creating an OpenSource project in C++ below - I need like-minded people, where can I find them?

They don't search at all. They themselves come.
Here I used one package from github, but it lacked one small function.
I forked this project, added a feature and sent a pull request to the author. The author accepted the pull request.
I became a part of his project. Was he looking for me? No.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
