I swear, i have read some issues...
So, i sometimes help people who have problems with an android CLI launcher
There is a fucking command called, "help" and when you open the launcher one of the first thing you see is "write help to get a command list", you write help and you get a list of all commands and there is even a wiki (not complete though) that explain some commands and they STILL ASK "can you add [command that already exist]?".
So i kinda feel why some people want a skill issue tag
I'd say "sure!" Then amaze them with how good and quick I am by telling them an hour or two later to "try it now "
What you describe sounds more like a "competence" issue than a skill issue - can't have the latter without first having the former.
That's a very smart way to go about it, and way more positive!
That way you teach them that
They are beginner devs, so they should learn to understand how things work.

uhhhhhhhhhh
Some of my repos could use a WTFM issue label. (Write the... )
I'il use that XD
I mean, not that I'm ever going to contest the existence of idiots, I myself sometimes cosplay as one, but if 'help' isn't quoted in the original instructions, I'm not going to blame people for not parsing the sentence correctly.

Helplist you all commands,communitygive you the link of discordtypes community, presses enter and immediately ask a silly question without reading help first
A launcher in the sense that lawnchair is? as in, the thing you see when no app is open?
because that would be sick as hell as an android launcher
Yeah, it's open source too! If you are interessed it's called "Yantra Launcher" on the playstore it has a minimal version(with less commands) and a pro version to support the developer but you can build the launcher yourself if you want
Thanks, it's a blast. Although I would prefer it to be on f-droid
