This repo is an exact 'copy-past' from the original website https://www.nohello.com/, choosing 'Inspired By' is not correct here.

Hello @MahmoudElShazly , I used "inspired by" to cover for any future changes/PRs that might take place. Actually, there has been two PRs extending and altering the content of the former page, so it's not an exact copy of nohello.com. I understand "inspired by" is maybe not a precise enough term, but I think "copied from" doesn't fit either and doesn't cover for future changes. I'm open for other suggestions though.

I do not get the "future changes", what will we need to add there?! The original content has a precise message that could not be clearer.

I do not get the motivation of copying someone else's content and change few sentences. this is not an active public code that could be extended by adding more functionalities, it is a simple static page that holds a message and everyone references it by

www.nohello.com

Lastly, the original author did not put his content in GitHub (declaring it is public), so please seek for his/her permission.

The content of the website has been extended and altered, please have a look yourself to identify the exact changes. If you don't think the original message could be improved in any way, feel free to refer to that source. No one is forcing you to relate to this repo in any way.

I see this differently, people can (and have) changed the message. It's a chat etiquette that can of course be extended and improved.

Putting something on GitHub has nothing to do with declaring something public. The website content of nohello.com is literally public. As mentioned in the README, the original author remains anonymous. There is no way that I see how anyone could contact him/her. If you know him/her, please let me know and I will happily seek permission.
