- kpandit 3y agoI would do exactly what you have done here if I were the dev of the said app. But with the luxury of being an outsider, a user has expressed an inconvenience and it seems to make sense, then if I were to be the dev of the app here, wouldn't I go and create the ticket in whatever system with a link to this post instead of asking the user of the app to follow the red tape? I know there are places where this is not incentivised so this is a question for your org and not for you.
- d4rkp4ttern 3y agoI tend to agree. As an open source dev myself, I avoid asking folks to create issues, as it puts a burden on the user. I’ve see some highly respected open source leads so this, and I’m not faulting them, as I think they’re coming from a good place; it may be a difference of opinion on what’s best practice.
- Froodle 3y agoI see what you're saying and for simple features I agree However Without the OP creating the ticket there can be no feedback look on the feature. If i wanted it tested for their usecase, there input and confirmation on if its what they wanted and improvements for the workflow etc.. If I base the whole feature on this comment it could end up only doing half a job. Id rather have that communication loop open!
- Sai_ 3y agoNot OP. My take is that if the requester can’t be bothered to create a GH issue, it’s likely that this isn’t really a problem for them. An annoyance possibly but has not risen to “pain” levels.
- cyanydeez 3y agoThis is open source software sir, it needs multiple steps to ensure users actually need these features and are willing to use them.
