God if i was the author i'd just say "Patches/Pushes welcome."
He made it a way that works for his needs -- if you think it should work otherwise; feel free to contribute. Suggestions are a dime a dozen 'round these parts.
- x1798DE 11y agoSuggestions without patches are extremely useful when someone gives you a use case that may be common but which you wouldn't have thought about because it's outside your own personal work flow.
- noir_lord 11y agoSoftware I write for customers always has a "Suggest a Feature" button somewhere on the primary nav. Some of the stuff suggested is ridiculous or impossible but sometimes they suggest stuff that in hindsight would have been blindingly obvious but I'm not the end user no matter how hard I try to put myself in their shoes.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoI asked the author in the issue if he's planning to continue development and if he's willing to accept pull requests. I learned about this watchapp an hour ago; I didn't even have time to test it on my Pebble. I just realized that this would be an obviously important feature if someone in a similar situation to mine had to use this app. If the author is interested in pull requests and doesn't have time, I do actually consider sitting down and writing that feature - that's the reason I asked.
- mikeash 11y agoThere's nothing wrong with making suggestions. The author doesn't have to implement them. Being demanding is bad, but merely making a suggestion is perfectly fine.
