I agree with all of this.

Its just frustrating that all the comments about an interesting library seem to be customer service complaints from people who never need to reach for this library. I was hoping for a real discussion, something I could learn from.

Really though an open source product has not really been released until there is documentation walking through setting it up and doing some simple thing with it. As it is I am really not so sure what it is, what kind of hardware it can run on, etc. Do you really think it got 117 Github stars from people who were qualified to evaluate it?

(I’d consider myself qualified to evaluate it.. If I put two weeks into futzing with it.)

Every open source release I’ve done that’s been successful has involved me spending almost as much time in documentation, packaging and fit-and-finish work as I did getting working it well enough for me. It’s why I dread the thought of an open source YOShInOn as much as I get asked for it.

Sometimes though it is just a bitch. I have some image curation projects and was thinking of setting up some “booru” software and found there wasn’t much out there that was easy to install because there are so many moving parts and figured I’d go for the motherf4r of them all because at least the docker compose here is finite

even if it means downloading 345TB of images over my DSL connection.
