🛑 Thank you for the contribution ❤️. Unfortunately, as per our contribution guidelines, we don't allow self promotion:

Avoid conflicts of interest. These should be of general community interest, not self promotions. If it is self promotion, it’s unlikely to be accepted.

We do this so that project get curated if there is enough support/activity in the community. Thank you!

@jmeridth I don't fully understand why this is not allowed. Ok, I created UnitSocializer myself, but I'm not trying to promote myself. I just want to share UnitSocializer with the world, allowing fellow developers to use it, give feedback and help me improve it. This way I hope to simplify the development and help teams improve their project quality.

I was thinking this was the ideal way to spread the word and find other people who are interested in helping me improve the project for the community

@wouter-bauweraerts We can appreciate your desire to get the code exposed and get community interaction/involvement. Unfortunately, this PR is self promotion. We limit this so that projects get curated if there is enough support/activity in the community. The catch-22 is not lost on me. How do you get community involvement without the exposure? A great resource for that can be found on https://opensource.guide:
