They can be a dev and not want to have to clone and explore the code. There's tons of little bits of friction that're not addressed by the "face" of the repo. E.g. The readme doesn't seem to imply how to connect to this database (the answer is you write to its stdin, it's not socket based).

We're not at work here. Low effort posts are allowed though not encouraged. Implying that making a low effort post somehow makes you not a developer ("you're a 'dev' but don't seem out tests?") is it's own low effort post, while also being hurtful.

Please, let's keep things kind, focused, and clear.
