I'm not sure whether or not you are asking me to share my thoughts on this - here they are:
I'm that kind of person who isn't equipped - and doesn't have the time to invest - in managing github-stuff. The readme sounds complicated comparing to my current management (which really only involves a couple of clicks & keeping track of the sequence - for one file), hence, there is no need for me. Curiosity could also do it for me but it doesn't sound anything like I could enjoy doing, hence, I have intention to try at this point. Hope I didn't waste your time, Cheers, Sebastian On Friday, April 10, 2020 at 11:58:02 PM UTC+10, Mark S. wrote: > > The polly project (https://github.com/Marxsal/polly/) has been looking > for > feedback from Mac users.
