To play the devil's advocate, how fundamentally different is it from searching for a gem that allows some function and copy-pasting some example other than that a non-software engineer can do it?
I know, it caters to different kind users, and libraries are typically meant for code consumption (and show the source code up-front and encourage peer contribution), but there is a similar vector here.

- simonw 10y agoIt was a one-click install - I clicked a button in the Wordpress admin panel and I could start using the functionality. No text editor, no SSHing anywhere, everything happened in my browser. Definitely fundamentally different from copy and pasting code or installing a gem.
