To anyone developing libraries: please, for the love of god, just put a damn code snippet right at the top. A simple hello world would do.
If you're pitching me something, show it to me. People don't have to dig around to see what you've made. I think the average visitor will give you about 10 seconds to decide if this is something they might be into, and if they can’t tell then they’ll leave.
- animex 3y agoClick the giant "QUICKSTART" link and you'll get what you're asking for.
- RussianCow 3y agoI agree with the OP: you shouldn't have to click anything to get an idea of what it even is and whether it's remotely interesting to you. To me, "quick start" implies that my interest has been piqued enough for me to dive in further. If you can't convince me to continue reading in the first ~10 seconds, there's a high probability that I'm closing the tab.

- waynesonfire 3y agoI think I gave it 3 seconds.
- p4bl0 3y agoI was thinking the same thing so I dived in the example. And now I understand why there wasn't a code snippet in the README: even a minimal app seems to requires multiple files in many subdirectories. I guess java stays Java, even when using a "minimal" framework.
