It's super awesome of you to take the time to provide detailed feedback for a random stranger's project - good on ya! A single suggestion: Try using "the critique sandwich" when commenting on people's hard work - can help them appreciate the effort you've put in rather than feeling too defensive

That's a fair point. I think I do that more often than not, I was a bit rushed while posting that. I certainly didn't want to send the message 'Your thing sucks', I appreciate all these weird projects that people do.

  In fairness, the only reason it stuck out for me is I do the exact same thing And I meant what I said; epically thoughtful and cool feedback that I hope the creator sees

I don’t really see how Lerc’s comment would benefit from the critique sandwich (more commonly called the “shit sandwich”, in my experience). Lerc was providing thoughtful suggestions for features to add. That’s not a criticism of what’s already in the project.

  Based on my comment's negative score it would seem you're not alone. I agree the feedback was thoughtful (as acknowledged in my reply) and read no ill-will in it and meant none myself At risk of flogging a dead horse, it can be nerve wrecking to share things (or raise your first real PR, whatever) so I try to respond with that in mind - especially since text-only comms can come off as harsher than intended.

      Argh, you're right - I made a bottomless sandwich, the least edible of all sandwichkind

I thought about it and added something positive to my comment which was more of a bug fix than a feature request. Maybe it was an open face sandwich.
