GH Discussions #5117
Comments
No, these are secondary channels. The main channel is via GitHub issues.
What's the benefit over GitHub issues? Very often, it is not clear whether something is an "issue" or a "discussion". What about discussions about an issue? |
Are you sure? Lines 149 to 158 in cc8e613
It seems Issues are mainly for bug-reports and feature-requests, not questions or discussions
Questions, such as #5118
I can relate 😅. It's hard to decide |
While I think GitHub discussions might be more appropriate than "issues" for many questions (many users just seek help to make scrcpy work on their device), I fear that it will create confusion/duplication. Moreover, in theory, a lot of existing issues should be moved to discussions, but I will not review the 5000+ issues to clean up. So for now, I think I will only keep issues, but add an explicit (empty) "Question" template: diff --git a/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/question.md b/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/question.md

I agree, that's too much work 😅
That's a good solution! Now, I'm unsure if I should close this as "completed" or "not planned". According to the title, it should be "not planned", but the intention was "completed" in another way |
Add an empty question template, and reword the "Contact" section in the README. Refs Genymobile#5117 <Genymobile#5117>
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The only contact channels are Reddit and Twitter, which require register/sign-up on their corresponding platforms.
There are many other reasons why users may not like (or even outright hate) to be forced to use any of those platforms
Describe the solution you'd like
Enable GitHub Discussions. It's built into this platform. Most users of scrcpy will very likely have a GH account and would love to use it!
Describe alternatives you've considered
Adding more platforms, such as Matrix or Discord
