I mean, if they already have projects running with this, it makes sense. If I learned one thing in my professional life is that while being a perfectionist already is not the best way to approach the vast majority of the problems, it's especially true when it comes to HTML.
Also, I hate to be that guy, but seriously, this thing seems like one of the easiest open source projects to get into, so why not fork?
- chrismorgan 4y agoI enjoy reviewing things like this and pointing out the problems in the hopes of improving them, or at least teaching others who will hear—when I post detailed reviews, I normally get positive reviews on the reviews (whether from the original author or from others), and feel I have helped people. But I don’t actually use things like this; I’m far too strongly opinionated and will do my own thing every time. (And for anyone else thinking of forking something like this: there are already a very large number of things like this, consider whether it’s worth the bother, maybe just find another one that has a different set of problems. :-) )
- Double_a_92 4y agoThe problem is that that (bad) thing, is the core idea of their project. So from their view you're basically saying "Yo, your project sucks. Make a better one."...
- pastrami_panda 4y agoI'd say it's way more nuanced than that. I appreciate the comment since I gained knowledge on both HTML and about this project's particular usage of it. If a project is based on an unconventional idea and this is undisclosed it's nice for everyone to point this out, it doesn't have to be interpreted as an attack.
