I'm starting to think that the discord and matrix chats were a bad idea. I had originally hoped that a small community would form around them, where people interested in the inner workings of a search engine would share interesting resources/ideas with eachother and simply hang out and chat. Instead, the chats have mainly turned into support chats where people would ask me questions about Stract directly. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these types of questions, but given that this project is already very constrained on resources as is (I'm the only one to answer questions) I am starting to come to the conclusion that having support as a giant group chat might not have been the best idea after all. The answers I give need to be easily findable so they can benefit other people in a similar situation as well, instead of having to answer the same question multiple times.

Hopefully this will instead encourage questions to be posted in issues/discussions on github. Here they can be found in posterity and won't introduce a social expectation that all questions must be answered immediately, which I simply cannot fulfill.
