What's with the "star and watch" animated GIF in the README? Should I start putting one in all my repositories? Should everyone be doing that as well?

- tasn 5y agoHaha, we actually took the idea from other projects. :P It helps people that don't know that you can watch to subscribe for updates.
- CyberShadow 5y agoMay I suggest placing it in a <details> tag. I'm finding it difficult to pay attention to anything on the page when there's a constantly blinking animation on it. > It helps people that don't know that you can watch to subscribe for updates. How would one fairly decide which project READMEs should have such an animation, and which shouldn't? It certainly calls a lot of attention to itself.
- tasn 5y agoNo idea to be honest, we just thought it was a cool idea. > May I suggest placing it in a <details> tag. I'm finding it difficult to pay attention to anything on the page when there's a constantly blinking animation on it. I tried, but it starts hidden by default, so misses the point.
- pxeger1 5y agoPlease don't turn GitHub into another YouTube - "don't forget to like and subscribe!!" :/
