brooksbUWO/Debounce

Debounce is a utility library solving a fundamental problem in embedded systems: mechanical switch jitter. While functionally solid, it lacks any competitive moat. The '16-bit pattern-based' approach is a standard algorithmic technique (often attributed to Jack Ganssle's seminal work on debouncing) that has been used in the industry for decades. The project faces overwhelming competition from established libraries like 'Bounce2' (which has thousands of stars and multi-platform support) and official SDK components like Espressif's 'iot_button' component within the ESP-IDF. With only 6 stars and zero velocity after nearly 200 days, the project appears to be a personal utility or a student exercise rather than a commercial or community-driven product. Platform domination risk is high because hardware manufacturers (Espressif) and framework maintainers (Arduino) provide these features out-of-the-box, making third-party micro-libraries for such specific tasks largely redundant for most developers.
