In the meantime, I even did | a chrome extension to make the new site more readable. | | It was sad how they ignored the feedback. It felt like a designer | that didn't use go documentation daily designed the site. The | worst part is they never explained why. | | godocs.io deserve to have a direct link in the http://golang.org/ | site. | Thaxll wrote: | Why would you use OP website vs the official version: | https://pkg.go.dev/, for example | https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prome... | | OP site looks inferior to the official one, maybe I'm missing | something. | | Edit: why am I being downvoted? | cientifico wrote: | Here is what I wrote in 2020: https://github.com/golang/go/is | sues/37862#issuecomment-60181... | | They closed the issue and asked to write it again while | ignoring the concerns. | | In general, I think a few of us are disappointed. It felt | like some marketing guy at google deciding to use GO to | promote the company and replace one of the boring doc | services with something "cool." It felt like developers were | no longer driving the project: Now is a Google project. | | To the day, I don't know why they decide to kill godoc.org | instead of improve it like OP. | | For me, godocs.org should be in https://killedbygoogle.com/ | Shared404 wrote: | The OP website is a replacement of a site that was replaced | with pkg.go.dev . | | Said replacement was created because there were people who | didn't like the change, and so fixed it themselves. | | Edit: | | Also a heads up: People on HN tend to take questioning | downvotes poorly, and the site guidelines say to not do so. | | In this case, it's probably because you didn't look into OP | at all before commenting, and completely disregarded both | your parents comment as well as the OP. | sirodoht wrote: | This is the creator's motivation for godocs.io and against | pkg.do.dev: https://drewdevault.com/2020/08/01/pkg-go-dev- | sucks.html ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-02-16 23:00 UTC)
