Why .hypnotix folder instead of using linux defaults? #186

Closed miku86 closed 2 years ago

miku86 commented 2 years ago

Hey folks,

thanks for this cool application.

I'm just interested why the application uses .hypnotix in HOME, instead of using the linux defaults, e.g. .cache. IMHO this approach clutters the HOME folder, without adding any benefits.

Greetings Michael

It is completely normal to do it that way.

miku86 commented 2 years ago

"Normal" doesn't imply "better".

What are the benefits of this approach? Especially for an application that only uses the folder to cache data?
