is my library crates.io worthy?

[small dust]

so i started learning rust this year and i thought it would be a great idea to do so by writing the next project i wanted to make in rust. now the libary is almost ready to be used as a dependency and i also want to use it for another project. this is where my problem comes in, there already is a library that has the same purpose as mine, but i did some things differently and there are a bit more features. should i publish this crate on crates io or should this remain on github?

if you need a bit more conext, the library is used to communicate with hyprland through its sockets (receive events/data, send commands)

and tbh im partially asking this because i really want to try out publishing a crate:)

is my library crates.io worthy?

There are plenty of crates that accomplish the same task in different ways on crates.io already so as long as you can come up with a somewhat unique name so that it isn't confused with the other crate you should be fine

There are a bunch of crates that do the same things (not just this) more diversity is welcome

It is nice to contribute to existing crates but the authors are not always willing to take them

i thought about contributing, but i wanted to try doing it by myself since im still learning rust. plus there are some features they wanted to add which would have been a real pain to implement due to the structure of the project

ill definitely contribute whenever i can in the future tho
