In my opinion it’s more useful than yours.
Is it missing some description? Sure!
Do I like posts like this one? No.
But instead of shouting your comment with anger, why not write something like “why not add some description? The way you posted it is pretty useless”.
It may work for this time and for the others for the OP (and for the others that have read your comment).
Thank you for sharing your opinion and your brilliant advice on how to be constructive. I especially enjoyed the part where you said I shouted my comment with anger—that was really good!
My guess is they’re referring to these release posts with zero detail.
“KelmRigger new release!” means nothing to anybody that’s never heard of it. At least add a sentence to say what it is rather than make everyone go look it up.
If you’re going to post release notes for random selfhostable projects on GitHub, could you at least add the GitHub About text for the project - or the synopsis from the readme - into the post.

Oh wow, I didn’t think miniflux was still active. I wonder if they can help me debug why their fever api endpoint crashes Readably
BTW, there is a miniflux package in Debian testing / unstable: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/miniflux
This is fucking useless. Please stop.
Rather ironically, miniflux users could add miniflux releases to their miniflux feed using https://github.com/miniflux/v2/releases.atom
So it’s extra extra useless
This community needs moderation. :(
What is useless?
Let’s flip it, then: what about this post is useful?

I used to use and love miniflux, but then they migrated to Golang and PostgreSQL, neither which are supported by my shared hosting (namecheap).
I use Freshrss now.

Edited, thank you.
I’ve been using it for a month or two now, so far it’s one of the best RSS readers I’ve used. Highly recommend.
I recently made a move from FreshRSS to miniflux, and it has a so much more cohesive UI. And its much snappier.
Highly recommend it.
