Docs need update

Open TypicallyThomas opened this issue 6 months ago • 4 comments

Hello, I was having issues with the OpenFoodFacts integration and wanted to look up what to do in the docs, but the docs regarding these processes haven't been updated in 2 years. I'd make a pull request but since I need the docs because I don't know what to do, I doubt my input would be very valuable.

haven't been updated in 2 years

Correct, it's even more 3 years when excluding simple spelling and grammar corrections.

Everything here is not up to date and far from complete since obviously nobody cares. I personally don't maintain this and if the situation stays like so, this repo will be archived or deleted in a couple of months.

My personal and here always unpopular opinion on that: There are thousands of threads on the Grocy subreddit and in the main Grocy repo about everything. We have 2025 and great search engines including AI tools crawling every deepest corner of the planet's internet. Utilizing this ends up in the most alive documentation ever.

The problem with those solutions is that I was using them. I end up here. I end up on old Reddit threads discussing solutions to problems that have since been solved with Master branch updates. I end up getting outdated information and I end up wasting two hours on attempting a solution that doesn't work anymore. Especially around Grocy, all the information is outdated

Then donate time and make the docs greater than in your wildest dreams if that's a fun thing to do for you. For me it's not and so I won't do that as part of my fun little side hobby project. At least in the last couple of years each and everyone on this planet did that just like me (obviously), so it looks a little bit that at the very end nobody needs or wants that here.

I would absolutely love to help out with that, but as you've probably gathered from this conversation, my comments on your YouTube and the conversation happening simultaneously on Reddit, I haven't got a clue what I'm doing so I'd just make things worse
