Comment on Ask HN: How do I improve boring README page?parent

Comments

OP, if you’re using too many adverbs, you’re going the wrong way. The more words ending in -ly I see, higher the chances I’ll just leave the docs right there to find a YouTube tutorial by an Indian dude

This is also my stance. -ly words make me groan and roll my eyes because it feels like you're trying to sell me something instead of letting it sell itself.
