Yes, I am aware of all that.
The decoder is unique because it is for a proprietary piece of hardware
based around an FPGA. As such it would not be of interest outside my
employers company.
Thanks for the though though.

I am writing a decoder and feel this would be a useful facility.
Made me curious, which protocol would this be? Are you aware of
the https://sigrok.org/wiki/Protocol_decoders page and the
candidates section there?
If it's a popular protocol, somebody might already be working on
it, and you could avoid duplicate work, or join forces? Or you
could let others know what you are working on, so that they don't
spend time on something that already exists? Even obscure and
unknown protocols are being worked on. :-D
As was mentioned before, the first step to creating a decoder is
getting data. Having captures at hand is even useful long before
a decoder exists, or is being worked on. Are you aware of the
sigrok-dumps repository? This is useful for people who want to
learn or explore without needing a setup that generates the
traffic and acquisition hardware. Want to provide something so
that other users can benefit?
