What’s your question?

My client showed that to me and I read it. I just imagined myself as someone who doesn’t know what Jellyfin is, and that text didn’t help much.

Ew. Yeah, good changes coming in that case. Glad they ironed that out!

Brilliant. 👍

Though sometimes you go to the website and it’s not much better.

Dude yes. Among my comments you’ll see that I ranted about this for a few days in the comments of another post. That’s even worse, when you can’t even find out for yourself.

any DB access now goes through the core library

Out of curiosity, this is better because of encapsulation? Protection from bad plugins?

I’m serious, there’s so much lazy posting on Lemmy regarding software releases.

• no mention of what the software is or does ✔️
• no mention of what’s interesting about the software or this release. ✔️

Jellyfin is quite a big name, but still, the pattern is clear.

just a small recap:

Postiz is a […]

Lovely to see that. And in the title. Thank you for that. 😙

You provide a lot of good constructive criticism

Thanks!

your delivery could be a little less offensive.

In the spirit of constructive criticism, would you mind giving an example of how I was offensive?

You’re right, this Lemmy community isn’t the right place for this.

Right place for what? I’m not sure I made any point that something doesn’t belong here.

I think my whole point was that there’s sooo many posts on Lemmy’s tech communities that are just a title of “Project X version x.y.z released” with a link to the GitHub release page for that version. No context, no description of what the software is. And it gets worse when the actual project site itself doesn’t even explain what the software is or does. It’s frustrating and causes noise in my life where there doesn’t need to be any, I guess.

I think I just came to rant, in all honesty. Probably in poor spirit, admittedly. Sorry for that.

I’ve gotten lots of responses, but the clear and simple info should be on the site itself rather than here. 👍

Fedify is a TypeScript library for building federated server apps powered by ActivityPub and other standards, so-called fediverse.1 It aims to eliminate the complexity and redundant boilerplate code when building a federated server app, so that you can focus on your business logic and user experience.

Thanks, but the point is that this should be more clearly labeled and explained on Ghost’s website, not by someone in a Lemmy comment. No offense. ❤️

😆👌

I remember using it like 15 years ago, and it was pretty shit back then too.

It needs a show case, to show me what it can do! Like, what is the output? Does it spit out a React project? Does it post directly to a hosted CMS type service? What!

There’s just too much of what we in Sweden would call “word shitting”. Lots and lots of words that say fuck all.

I shouldn’t have to find their Wikipedia page if I’m already on their website bruh. 🙈

Independent technology for modern publishing

This says nothing. “Technology”? Come on. Be specific.

Ghost is a powerful app for professional publishers to create, share, and grow a business around their content. It comes with modern tools to build a website, publish content, send newsletters & offer paid subscriptions to members.

This is better, but give me screenshots, give me a way to get a feel for what it can do. I still didn’t find that after rummaging through several pages.

Reading their newsletters would get boring fast if they started every single one of them with repeating what they are.

I clicked away from the newsletter first thing, to start exploring from their front page, which was just a wall of text that said very little concrete shit and showed next to nothing. Other pages were nothing more.

Then it should say that clearly somewhere on the site. 🤷‍♂️

What is?

What is Ghost?

Yet another site or project where you read endless paragraphs that talk abstractly about ideas and concepts instead of just showcasing what the delivered product/app actually is or looks like. Drives me up the goddamn wall sometimes. Why should I be interested, you know what I’m saying?

Edit: alright guys, every person doesn’t have to reply saying what it is. I’m not actually interested anymore. My point was to whine about how it wasn’t clear from their home page. 👍 When I realized it was too hard to figure out what this is, I lost interest.
