I've found calver useful for applications. It makes it clear how old the version you're running is. IntelliJ and Windows both use it and I prefer it to a version number you have to look up.
- lucideer 5y agoYes actually, you're right. Arguments for semver aren't really applicable to user-facing stuff as upgrades there are tested by release teams and generally in most cases you want users to upgrade always. The utopian ideal for apps in cases where someone might choose to use an older version (presuming LTS) would be somehow naming the release based on features, but that's not practical so date-based versioning is a really good proxy here. Calver's uselessness only really applies to software dependencies.
