Closed ShalokShalom closed 7 years ago

ShalokShalom commented 7 years ago

There is support for Firefox and Opera, maybe mention this in the README?

https://addons.opera.com/de/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/

Hi @ShalokShalom,

The Firefox addon link is already present in the README. I'll add the link re: Opera shortly.

Thanks!

ShalokShalom commented 7 years ago

I mean as an icon, like with Chrome. I actually wasnt aware of a Firefox add on, since i trusted this one.

musically-ut commented 7 years ago

@ShalokShalom I see.

Do you think this README looks better: https://github.com/musically-ut/lovely-forks/tree/improve-readme

Any suggestions on how to improve the text/presentation?

ShalokShalom commented 7 years ago

Perfect, this looks super awesome to me.

Can you think about a word (combination), which describes the essence of this tool? If yes, i would replace notable with it.

musically-ut commented 7 years ago

Hmm, I'll have to think about it.

Do you have any suggestions there?

ShalokShalom commented 7 years ago

No, my english is too buggy. :)

musically-ut commented 7 years ago

I've updated the README but haven't yet come up with a better word than "notable" forks. I'll keep this issue open until we find something better. :)

ShalokShalom commented 7 years ago

useful?

musically-ut commented 7 years ago

"useful" is not quite what describes the other fork the best.

Looking at the examples in the screenshots, the other forks can be compatibility fixes, can be ports to other platforms, or can be a feature branch which the original doesn't have.

The use-case I had in mind was that when the original repo has been abandoned, the fork becomes the next maintained thing, but the examples were far more versatile than merely that.

"useful" just doesn't get that meaning across, I think. "Noteworthy" seems to encompass those use-cases better.

Then mention this in the text as well?
