Interesting project on the novel writing platform. I'm surprised they did't use git for the backend sync, it would seem purpose built for something like that.

Almost missed that, thanks for pointing it out!
The LubeLogger meltdown ticket is pretty goddamn funny.
I know nothing of the full conversation, but I read the"meltdown". I sort of sided with the melt down guy. Everything he said there was reasonable, albeit slightly verbose.
IDGAF about the whole thing so it might just be that the final post was fine, but the rest was not :shrug:
I mean, I've run across badly documented FOSS apps as well, but if I submit a correction, I don't wrap up my ego in whether they take it or not.
If it's been open for more than a week or two, I just delete it so it isn't hanging around my feed. No worries, if that's how you want to run your project it's no skin off my nose.
But what kinda dweeb goes off on it in a Reddit post?
I fully disagree with your comment. Frankly your attitude sucks. I will not bother any more attempting to help, rest assured. You missed an opportunity to improve your documentation, on this page:
See, this is why I'd never publish an app. I have long since lost my patience.
This issue that only I have is proof of bad programming practices being used in LubeLogger and I demand you treat me like the special snowflake I am!
The reddit post where he doesn't get people on his side is pretty funny too!
I mean...I just don't understand the disconnect. Dev toils and sweats over a app. Dev gives it away for free as opensource. User: @#$%@$$# Fuck that noise.
The US government just banned Roombas
Ahhh. Again we're legislating to the lowest common denominator, saving idiots from themselves. Awesome!
DIY robovac time!
I wanna see full uprights, like the canister vacs mounted on an rc truck base.
