It is not about opening a text editor. It's about what you would type into that editor. The value provided is in the templates, not in the editor.

- system2 5y agoIf someone is writing readmes all the time, why wouldn't that person have a pandadoc or similar template for this task?
- Phil-bitplex 5y agoYou're exactly right - if you're writing readme's all the time, you'd have templates ready to go. I only write readme's maybe once every few months or perhaps once a year, and having a template (interactive like this one, or otherwise) that someone else has thought about is super useful to me.
- crubier 5y agoLol not sure if this is a joke or not. Who writes readmes all the time? And where does the project state that it targets these people ?
- stunt 5y agoI think that meant to be a joke. I actually do create a few README files every month (cos of Microservices), but I still don't understand why someone would use a tool to generate README files.
- lobocinza 5y agoI wrote a README.md template because I started a bunch of projects of my own in the last month but I haven't used it so far and it is not more than a bunch of headers plus a license boilerplate.
