Hello
Couldnt think of a better place than "What is on your Mind".
So me have that project
https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...k-scripts.html.
Eventhough i tried to describe it well in its thread and its README.md on github, i've been asked what for it is.
Where i already fail to understand why "a line based Text User Interface for scripts" isnt a good description???
To me that question sounds like: "What is the command 'echo' and 'printf' good for?"
What i'd like to get, if you already tried out, is feedback to keep improving it.
Reason i'm asking is, i have one feedback telling me how easy it is to apply, and one feedback telling me its all but natural or easy approach and that he wouldnt know how to start or use it.
Beeing asked what they liked or dislike, neither of them replied.
Now, having only 2 feedbacks which are quite opposite to eachother and beeing left alone when trying to get more details from those 2 guys, i feel the urge to ask here.
Actualy I have two questions, for either of which i hope you already did at least try TUI.
- Could someone please help me to get a technicly correct description on TUI?
I seem to even fail describing it good enough in (swiss-)german which is my mothers tounge.
- Could you please share your collected impression/opinion on TUI?
- Is the help text (-h) unclear?
- Is there too less info in the manpage/s?
- Is the README.md misleading?
- Is the wiki usefull?
A last 'question'.
If you have TUI installed, please post your system here, and if some commands giving trouble - name them, so i'd know which files need to be fixed for which systems.
As obvious visible some errors might look, on another system they may not occour at all.
I start figuring, the hardest part to contribute one owns project to "the community" is to get a large enough 'range/amount' of people using it, so feedbacks/requres/suggestions/errors are reported back 'automaticly'.
And to have the proper description, to attract only those who can handle it.
(As in: It makes no sense to have the bank accountant using Photoshop CS3000 (idk, wc), and the artist to use the latest Abacus)
Any advice/feedback?
Thank you in advance.
