Correct or delete misleading readthedocs.io pages #41

Open tacerus opened 3 years ago

Hello,

I utilized my search engine to find an application that does what your application does. Happily among the first results I found tailon, represented by the link https://tailon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. Upon attempting to install it using pip and trying to run it, I was faced with errors. I followed the GitHub reference in the above link to file an Issue, only to become extremely confused as to why I'm seeing a Go application and Go instructions for a Python program. Only after further research I found that the application I installed was now called tailon-legacy, and that I should replace it with this, newer, Go-based version.

The fact that your (?) readthedocs.io pages represent the Python based tailon as the true and only tailon, and being referenced to an absolutely different tailon upon following the GitHub link makes for an extremely confusing and misleading experience.

If the Python based tailon is outdated, please either remove the readthedocs.io pages, put a big red banner up that they are outdated, or replace them with instructions that match the README.md of this repository / reflect the same installation steps.

Thank you.
