The documentation could use some improvement to help new users get started.

  1. Add a quickstart guide or getting started section. This would help new users install the necessary prerequisites, install the software, and get off the ground quickly with a basic example. Many open source projects have a quick start guide, which new users greatly appreciate.
  2. Improve the installation and setup documentation. The current installation docs are sparse. It would be good to provide more details on the installation steps for each platform (macOS, Linux, Windows), required packages or dependencies, and any gotchas or troubleshooting tips. Screenshots and code examples would also help.
  3. Add more examples and tutorials. The project needs better examples and tutorials to help new users learn how to use the software. Some tutorials on everyday use cases and examples for beginners would make the project much more accessible.
  4. Improve the API and config file documentation. The API and configuration docs could use more details. Adding overviews, code samples, default values, and descriptions for each option would help new developers use the project more efficiently.
  5. Consider reorganizing the documentation. The current organization of the docs feels haphazard. Grouping related topics, using a standard template for each page, and providing an overview/navigation page help make the documentation easier to read and find information.

Overall, improving and expanding the documentation is one of the best ways to help new users start the project. Please let me know if you want to help improve or to reorganize the documentation!
