They didn't, so the reason isn't that English isn't their first language, it's that they didn't want to spend time writing text. In which case I don't understand how this is different from a native English speaker doing the same thing.
> the genai content on the website is just so distracting and such a bummer. It sticks out like sore thumb.
The comment is fair and accurate. The vacuous marketing speak is tedious, unpleasant and risks undermining the technology it makes a flailing attempt to describe.
Your non-native English speaker excuse is neither fair nor accurate since an AI translation of a human-written Mandarin language text does not introduce the style of writing being criticised.
Not every open source project requires a grandiose marketing site littered with manipulative, cloying language. Let the project speak for itself.
I don’t agree at all. The text and illustrations are straight to the point. I just took the time to read the page fully and honestly every word is useful to me. I’m interested in this tool because Logi Options+ sucks, and it clears out every question I have for a replacement. I know what features it offers, what devices it’s compatible with, what it looks like, how to install it, even how it uses the network (update checker disabled by default is a nice touch)
I fail to see how this isn’t the perfect website for an open source productivity tool
We’re way past automatic translation, if I needed to write a Chinese description I would just ask an LLM "Here’s what I wrote, can you write something similar in Chinese", not a direct translation.
Sure, in your fallible opinion, just like everyone else’s. I don’t care what language the writer of the software speaks, and I don’t care whether ai wrote the descriptions. I got the point quickly and clearly. Are you serious? Bold words are scary, and we should put down the author of what would appear to be a great piece of open software? Wow, I thought App Store review sucked.
