I keep hearing that people struggle to understand github.

Can someone who is set up for streaming or video capture post a stream/video explaining to the average person...

1. what is github

2. how to make an account

3. tips for searching existing issues

4. commenting on an issue or creating a new one

5. how to screen shot on ios, android or browser. methods to get that screen shot to a github issue (e.g., can upload to nostr.build or other server first and then link)

Lets do what we can to bridge users and developera and promote methodical progress

Traversy Media - [git and GitHub for Beginners](https://youtu.be/SWYqp7iY_Tc?feature=shared) is helpful

This and most videos like it are targetted to developers though, which isnt the target audience I want to have informed

Ah, sorry. 🤙🏼

If it needs a video explainer it’s probably a crap experience.

You can do all of the above steps directly in your nostr client.

Probably why YouTube and TikTok have been failures

The point is the target audience generally has a low attention span and will not read through steps no matter how clear and concise. Preference leans to quirky content to consume for a dopamine hit. Video shorts do this and the likes of BTC Sessions prove this out

Videos are the best format, yes.

My point is that github is another layer of friction if your goal is to communicate a bug or request.

Maybe how to do a bug report / request on nostr sans github might be the video to make.

I can try making a poor mans production 30-60 second video.

I think Nostr kind 1 notes is a lousy place to post a feature request or bug report as there is no guarantee that it will be seen through the noise, and increases burden on devs to monitor for it, and manually carry it over to github or other system for proper tracking, triage and search support.

Not every project is blessed with a person dedicated to doing such tasks and even those like Damus that are will be overwhelmed as a single person fielding the masses cannot scale.

That’s fair.

I use nos.today by nostr:npub1q7qyk7rvdga5qzmmyrvmlj29qd0n45snmfuhkrzsj4rk0sm4c4psvqwt9c to occasionally check for damus talk.

Good luck with all that. User feedback is a desert wasteland. Like pulling hairs, or Herding cats, Or abdominal surgery on oneself. Ouch. Never goes how you hoped.

Best we can do is team up with UX and dev professionals hand in hand. Two eyes Looking in and two looking out. Hope for the best as we charge fwd.

GitHub is one of the most complicated sites i frequently visit.

Mind you I don’t “use” it. I just go to read about what is happening, and even that is a mess.

Github is centralized dystopia.

Please stop using it.

Nice and Kind Vic 1y ago

Yes this makes sense... dont use tools at all because someone else controls it.

Until something better comes along it will continue to be used.

freedom dev 𓅦 1y ago

Fiat thinking and talk.

There are alternatives.
