@anon7821378 like WTF, was it due to the issue I have opened? Is this an adult way of dealing with things? It’s absolutely OK if you are tired of supporting your work and won’t maintain it anymore. But completely removing a public repo from Github? Is this a pissing match or what?
To explain to others, I have opened an issue on the repo yesterday because the integration reported an error (“SOLCAST - HTTP sites_data error: Solcast Error gathering rooftop sites data.”). There was a lot of people commenting on that and saying that it doesn’t work for them too and as it later came up, the problem was probably on Solcast side.
Nevertheless, @anon7821378 showed up after all the comments from other people and posted this message:
`Maybe instead of opening the same issue over and over, users start to learn to search and check closed issues. If you had bothered you would see this question already has been answered.
This isn’t a big problem… a pain, yes.
creating a new api key WILL NOT solve your problem!! Don’t waste your time doing this!
Biggest issue is that the sensors drop out, and this is being addressed… so when users do get a 429 status the sensors will continue to work `
To what I have replied that my issue was not with 429 status and honestly, I didn’t have any way of knowing if the problem is on Solcast side or integration side. A simple “problem is on Solcast side” would make sense in this case.
Also, nobody in the issue thread has insulted @anon7821378 or made any inappropriate comment (I still have all replies in my email if anyone wants to check) and didn’t demand immediate fix or anything else that is usual in situations like this. Most people just calmly reported it’s not working for them and some made some hints it might be a solcast problem, the discussion was extremely calm and friendly.
So if this is what @anon7821378 calls “bunch of self righteous ppl that demand they get what they want”, then I don’t know…
If there was any private communication I am not aware of and which made @anon7821378 so pissed off, then ok, but still removing a repo from github is way off.
