Hey man, keep it up, just put a description of what the app is with the update.
I personally clicked in just to see what the hell it was. I mean this one is useless to me, but maybe something else you're using is not. So a description in the title of what it does would be helpful, then I can go "Oooh a new thing to play with" when I scroll past it.
Anecdotally, a couple months ago, someone posted the latest image release, without comment, because back then people weren't pretending to be illiterate. But there was a change to postgres that broke shit. A month or so later, someone posted saying that their Immich had stopped working and I was able to assist them because I had clicked through the link and read the changes at the time. I was really proud to be able to give back to the community in the same way so many others had helped me. Oh well!
Nobody is saying you're not helpful. Actually, nobody is going back through your history to even see if you're helpful.
All people are saying is, in the future, post a brief description of the app you're linking.
Don't take all these comments so personally pal, chin up. Just walk away and forget about it until you next post, and when you doz drop a quick description of the app you're linking the change log for. That way people will have to find something else to moan about instead.
You can't please everyone, there's far too many of us, so please yourself.
You're right, I did take it really personally and I shouldn't have. Personally, I find release postings and release discussions interesting. I also think posting descriptions is performative. It's not just performative though, it's time consuming. They say people that don't do, teach. Well now those teachers will have to step up and do, lead from the front as it were. If the community benefits, then everyone wins.
