I recently tried to share an open-source project I've been working on called Open Vectorizer.

It's a raster-to-SVG vectorization engine written in Rust. It runs locally, compiles to WebAssembly, has a reproducible benchmark suite, and competes surprisingly well with established tools like Potrace and VTracer.

I wanted people to see it.

More importantly, I wanted contributors.

That's where things got weird.
