Started working on a website for a project I’m hoping to eventually open source. Found it a little difficult to write the section on why this project exists at all. It may turn that I’ll be be the only one that will have a use for it.

It’s absolutely OK to make an open-source project that may have no users other that yourself. You have at least one user, and you know exactly what features that user needs and which bugs are the first priority for that user.
It’s much harder when you do something for an “average user” that may not even exits. You exits, at least, and that’s a good start.
I have at least one open-source project that I know for sure no one but me has any use for. But then again, I have at least 3 open-source project that I was sure would fall into the same category at the time I was developing them but that turned out to be of use for at least one person other than myself each.
@nekr0z You’re absolutely right. Thanks for the encouraging words.
EDIT: I guess the reason for my post is wondering whether or not it will be worth the effort to put togeather a site at all. I waver between "it's a waste of time" and "it wouldn't hurt, and it may actually help". It might be that I'm the only one that will get any use from it, but then again, there may be others. But I guess that's what goes through the head of most people releasing open-source software.
