> Independent and controllable, pure Chinese domestic community
Doing software projects for domestic and foreign users is extra work, and the community seems to fragment along language lines. For example: https://www.esp32.com/index.php https://www.esp32.com/index.php
I guess a 纯中文国内社区 is one way to solve this, but then why post on hacker news? This seems contradictory.
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoHad to deepl "自主可控、纯中文国内社区" to understand that your comment meant it translated to "pure Chinese domestic community", which implies if we are not part of the gang, we can't enjoy the project. Well, we've been doing this implicitly with English for a long time, so I guess Karma is a bitch. On the other hand, I wrote a French technical blog for years, and it was way harder to reach a lot of people, so if I had to do it again, it would be in English. They don't have this problem, since 1B people are Chinese.
- anononaut 4y agoThis doesn't seem like an appropriate conclusion. There's a massive semantic difference between "China #1" and "Sorry, I only know English." Karma doesn't come into play here.
- tgv 4y ago> Well, we've been doing this implicitly with English for a long time, so I guess Karma is a bitch. Or it's their loss. 7B people don't speak a word of Mandarin, and even more can't read and write it.
- alrlroipsp 4y ago~7B of those would not pick up a new fringe language either way.
- zen21 4y agoNor will ~1B of the rest.
- asplake 4y agoThat there’s apparently an unmet need or an unscratched itch might be newsworthy enough. If it’s a strategic move, them more so, surely?
