Trying to use library X, but can't figure out how, until I stumble on the README for another library Y (which does something similar to library X): In Y's README, there's a section titled "Motivation", which starts with:

"What's wrong with library X? In X, you'd do something like:
<example code that perfectly demonstrates how to use X>
which suffers from such and such issues"

@glocq ​:blobcat_smilehappyeyes:​​ Did you choose X over Y?

@mio I'm trying the X route, and if I run into the problems mentioned in Y's readme I'll switch

@mio (Y is one more dependency, whereas X is actually only part of a dependency I'm already using)
