Why do you care? They're the ones who will deal with the support burden of people who don't understand how to use it—if that support burden is low enough that they're happy with where they're at, what motivation do you have to tell them to deliberately restrict their audience?
> Why do you care?
Like many in FOSS I care about making the experience better for everyone. Slightly weird question, why do you care that I care?
> what motivation do you have to tell them to deliberately restrict their audience?
I don't have any motivation to say any such thing, and I wouldn't either. Is that really your take away from reading that issue?
Stating something like "Ollama is a daemon/cli for running LLMs in your terminal" on your website isn't a restriction whatsoever, it's just being clear up front what the tool is. Currently, the website literally doesn't say what Ollama actually is.
> Is that really your take away from reading that issue?
Yes. You went to them with a definition of who they're trying to serve and they wrote back that they didn't agree with your relatively narrow scope. Now you're out in random threads about Ollama complaining that they didn't like your definition of their target audience.
Am I missing something?
Yes, I'm not asking them to adopt what I think is the target audience, I'm asking them to define any target audience, then add at least one sentence on their website describing what Ollama is, not sure why that's controversial.
Basically the only information on the website right now is "Get up and running with large language models.", do you think that's helping people? Could mean anything.
