would be nice

From IndieWeb


would be nice is an expression (as in, “It would be nice if …” or “X would be nice”) used to justify ideas for which no-one has come up with a concrete real-world use-case for, and is an antipattern due to being typically used for academic purist justifications as opposed to real-world evidence based justifications.

If there are examples of real-world evidence and use-cases to justify something, those should be always be expressed instead of the expression “would be nice”.
