We're probably hitting close to the all-time high of unread notifications on github... I'm at 1752 rn, only watching lemmy projects.
It does feel like I've become the personal issue tracker for a few thousand people all the sudden. 99% of ppl are nice, but there's always someone demanding free labor to fix their pet issue, while offering to do none of the work themselves, and making ultimatums that they won't use your software until it gets added.
It's like okay then???? I'm not selling a product, so I don't care. I've essentially set up a free cookie stand and they're complaining at me that I don't have rainbow sprinkles.
Tell them they can open a PR if they want.
If they are asking for examples then they don't know how to use it yet
I thought that in such case I acomplished success as open source developer: someone actually like my software enough to use it
