Code is my own. Do you think rewriting the Readme in my own words would help?

How would someone prove that it’s safe, good, and market it? Asking for your opinion here.

Done. Thanks a lot for the advice!

Sounds like a nice idea, which would allow me to showcase all the capabilities of the library!
Re:As HN: Why is no one using my free library? on Wednesday February 18, 2026 @01:03PM (#47064038)
I took your advice and added it to the About section, and added a small emoji in the Readme to boost visibility

As HN: Why is no one using my free library?

I built a lightweight React guided tour library after finding existing solutions too heavy or limiting for my use case. I open-sourced it six weeks ago, but haven’t seen much adoption or attraction yet.I'm curious to hear from others who’ve released developer tools how it works and if I should be patient with it?The reason I want this to work is not for monetary gain, it's open source and will...

Thank you for the feedback. I agree, HN is mostly technical people, but I also appreciate all the feedback I can get!

Agreed, I will only be taking on doable projects of course, that's why over the initial call I'll assess if it's doable or not. But that's a good point. Should I maybe add a build from scratch option?
Re:Ask HN: Any thoughts on my new online business? on Friday August 29, 2025 @04:11PM (#45068845)
lol agreed, but vibe coders and non technical founders can't do that themselves. What do you think of the idea as a whole? I would really appreciate any feedback

Ask HN: Any thoughts on my new online business?

I’ve been seeing a lot of people build quick prototypes with AI lately, kind of “vibe coding,” and producing unsafe, unfinished, and unusable apps. The ideas are great and they work in a demo sometimes, but the moment you try to put them in front of real users things start breaking. So I decided to create a service around helping people take those prototypes and actually get them ready for...

Re:Ask HN: German company didn't pay me for two months on Monday September 04, 2023 @01:18PM (#37382591)
Yes, I was hired as a contractor. The company is based in Köhlstraße, do you know which municipality website I need to file the complaint from?

Ask HN: German company didn't pay me for two months

I worked for a German company that didn't pay me for 5 months, during that period payment was always late, then it didn't come for two months then I was let go, which was good for me since I was going to quit anyways and if they fire me I get a three weeks severance, but after they let me go, they emailed that they will pay me then cut contact for the last month with 0 news. I'm not based in...

For the sake of argument let's say:

- No, but you're not contractually obliged to inform them - Both are full time lead positions but one of them has flexible hours and no set 9-5

Re:Ask HN: Do you think lawyer AI's will be a thing in the future? on Wednesday September 29, 2021 @09:39AM (#28693477)
The bar is passed to make sure that the student knows his stuff and laws, I don't think that applies to an AI that has every legal book in its database. But I do agree that jurys would be a big problem that can be solved by using it in small claims court where there's no jury, and as far as not being able to sue it, you can sue the company that created it!

Ask HN: Why is it so hard to find an Elm job

I've been looking for Elm jobs for two months with no luck. Why is there such a shortage in Elm development jobs?The Elm slack jobs board only gets one or two jobs a month and most of them are for beginners or offering ridiculously low pay.Should I just go back to React?
