Can't find any mention about shadowsocks project on homepage

I tried this project (setup a server successfully and connect from Linux and Android), outline is definitely an excited and beautiful work. 💯

But when I connect the server from client, I was surprised to find the URI is start with ss://, so the underlying network protocol and implement are from shadowsocks project, right?

I feel surprised because I don’t see any information about shadowsocks project in outline’s homepage(even in HTML source code) when I follow the guide to setup a server.

Emmm, there is nothing wrong because open source project don’t request any mention in other’s homepage when they are using it.

But is it meet the spirit of open source?

IMHO, add some words like powered by or based on shadowsocks with a link maybe a good idea?

Or hide the implement detail in homepage can give new user a easy-to-use feeling?

Discussion welcome 💬

不把 shadowsocks 写在官网上是十分不道德是事，没想到谷歌下面的工作室就是这么对待开源项目的。
