Issues with dino making ui #1292
Description
a large part of the dino-making experience was figuring out exactly what was desired with a few outdated instructions, which cost me a whopping 15 minutes of my time (wow so much!!1) I'll split this into each vague step.
we see the image on the left states that one can just go to the repo and make a branch. This is not true today, as we need to fork the repo and then make a branch in the repo...
also, when one enters the repo, one has to load all the 1000 files (truncated) and also load the number of pull requests, contributors, etc. - a lot of lag. I do use a 8 GB RAM Mac, so probably that's a bit why, but I can usually handle about 20 (non-video, reading) tabs pretty well. I assume some people though are not quite as well off to have such a Mac and hence will find the dino-making experience a bit more laggy than expected. And for example, looking for the README to place the dino png in takes a bit of time and lag; maybe there could just be one folder for the images or something - though it is more epic to have a lot of dinos.
generally - these videos were made when this dino-making experience repo had only 14 stars. it has a few more stars now, and since then GitHub has updated quite a bit, so that now there are many auxiliary options and things or whatnot that will confuse the reader who just wants an optimal, magnificent dino-making experience. Everyone uses dark mode now, also!
I definitely spent way too much time on this issue, but yeah just some constructive thoughts I had on the dino-making experience
