I am building an early-stage developer tool in the privacy space (details
intentionally withheld). Audience: developers who discover tools through
GitHub.

Question: how should an early developer tool in a trust-sensitive category
explain its value and earn credibility with GitHub users? Please cover:
- how to frame the core value without hype;
- the top adoption risks for a privacy-adjacent tool and how to defuse them;
- which trust signals matter most to developers (docs, tests, install path);
- a sensible launch sequence for the first 90 days.
