👻 Not your homie? Or your homie afterall?

[frenck]

Spook will turn 1-year old on 23 February 2024.

I originally started out to create something to experiment with (and I still do experiment concepts with Spook). However, nowadays, Spook seems to be gaining popularity and slowly getting an actual "fan base" (sounds weird to write/say).

The slogan "Not your Homie" I added because, well, it is a custom integration; custom integrations should be avoided as much as possible. Additionally, there is stuff in Spook that might not be the best idea.

Spook 👻 is turning one year old. How it developed and was embraced by part of the community, made me wonder: Should I change its narrative?

seems I am the only one.... but using Spook as power tool, so not using it (as we are not allowed (maybe change that too)) is not an option....

Makes me say, yes, change it, and why not to the functionality it offers: Power Tools.

(remember the days when we had a set of power tools for windows, which also made life easier in the situations where regular OS left us wanting.)

For Spook it is just the same: HA OS is fine, but there are situations we need, well, a Power tool.

btw Congrats!

I actually said "keep it" for the same reasons( Ironically ), as i find it slightly "annoying", when someone repeatedly reminding me about things i have to fix, or things i done wrong/bad ( it's like a nagging B.... , or a besserwisser ) But in the end we like won't live without them, because they give us so much more ( And they are right !, from their perspective ... maybe )

So if it's have to be change, i would like to see ( Spook , maybe Your Best Homie after-all )

"Spook: Not for the faint of heart" may be a better slogan

The current name is the reason I haven't known or used this great tool for almost a year since its release. I find it a bit confusing for newcomers and think it's preventing its use from becoming widespread. In my opinion, it’s better to simply “Spook” or, as previously suggested, “Power Tool”.
