I tried a few different repositories (both my own and various other people’s projects). They all yield the same: No repositories found No repositories matching "https://git.sr.ht/~whynothugo/ImapGoose" were found. Probably broken/down right now?

Maybe they only support github?

I insta-banned this site in Kagi. The trigger for me: utter disrespect for the user with unhideable glassy floating chatbox at the bottom of the page. And WTF with these floating boxes popping up everywhere?!? They are tailor-made to trigger anxiety in people with OCD. They look like a notification that keep grabbing your attention as you scroll the text. Example: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/secure-eks-clusters-…

Help yourself with https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/fanboy-annoyance.txt or one of its variants.

I took a look at a project I maintain[0], and wow. It's so wrong in every section I saw. The generated diagrams make no sense. The text sections take implementation details that don't matter and present them to the user like they need to know them. It's also outdated.

I hope actual users never see this. I dread thinking about having to go around to various LLM generated sites to correct documentation I never approved of to stop confusing users that are tricked into reading it.

Yeah this seems to be a recurring issue on each of the repos I've tried. Some occasionally useful tables or diagrams buried in pages of distracting irrelevant slop.

I fear the consequences will be even darker:

- Users are confused by autogenerated docs and don’t even want to try using a project because of it

- Real curated project documentation is no longer corrected by users feedback (because they never reach it)

- LLMs are trained on wrong autogenerated documentation: a downward spiral for hallucinations! (Maybe this one could then force users go look for the official docs? But not sure at this point…)
