Thank you, really! Maybe I am just in a weird mood, but that made my day, as strange as it might sound.

I don't think people, in general, are anywhere near as vocal and explicit about the things they appreciate compared to the things they actively hate or that frustrate them. And I think this applies even more so in careers and hobbies like tech where people don't seem to think of the things you make as consumable or creative in the same way they do with others (e.g., movies, videos, music, and other art); my personal experience has been that if someone is reaching out, it's—more often than not—to let you know about an issue or complaint.

So, thanks, it felt nice! And thanks for the reminder; I should let others know the same more often too.
