If I have to dig through your website/documentation to find basic information we’re not getting off to a great start. It’s pretty common for open source projects to proudly proclaim they are open source from the get-go. “____ is an open source tool for ______.” Simple as that
Seriously all the nitpicking I see of any project people post here but “tell us you’re open source at the top when you’re open source” means we’re lazy? Being open source is an important decision and you should tell people! It’s a good thing!
Isn’t a big part of getting a project out there actually letting people know what it is? Especially if you’re trying to give a tool to the open source-valuing community. That’s a high priority for them. That’s like having a vegan menu and not saying you’re a vegan restaurant anywhere public facing.
I agree it's a good thing, but I'd also agree it's not something you need/have to shove in people's faces, especially when it's literally one click away to find out (The GitHub icon in the top right takes you to the repository, and you don't even have to scroll or click anything, the sidebar shows "MIT License" for you).
There is a GitHub icon fairly prominent on the top right. Choosing to spend precious text for a fleeting would be user on it is a choice and not everyone wants to market that fact very prominently. Should everyone who writes their project in rust include that prominently as well? It seemingly markets very well and a lot of people seem to care about that as well.
