But Github has the closest thing to a solution - a public repository of all the previous questions which people can search to discover if someone has already had the same issue.
- lagniappe 3y agoIn my experience, people rarely search previous issues.
- bathtub365 3y agoThis is obviously false since there are several people in this discussion who have mentioned they search previous issues
- starttoaster 3y agoMaybe the people of HN are just a small minority of users that contribute GitHub Issues on popular public repositories and not very well representative of the whole? Have you maintained a popular repository on GitHub? I can vouch for tons of spam/duplicate Issues.
- inetknght 3y agoThere might be a ton of duplicate issues. There might also be a ton of duplicate issues not brought up by a FAQ. How would you measure those?
