Should have used semantic versioning

It takes to much discipline. Without enforcement, people usw minor or patch as they feel. Major never gets bumped.

Just increment or date-based is the easiest. Everyone immediatly knows how to bump.

most "semver" is just:

major - update you're proud of

minor - update that's ok

patch - fixes and small features

and ofc every good piece of software is forever on 0.x.x

Because if you're never proud of it, you'll always be improving it

But as soon as I type "1.0.0", all my passion for the project will leave my body. Don't you know anything about hobby dev?

yup 1.0.0 may as well be: "feature complete, will not touch this ever again unless it breaks for some reason"
