Similar to Set an example for how to use a new medium, it can often be unclear how to use a deep system that has many non-obvious parts. Some people may explore and discover things but it's surprisingly common for many to be lost and get stuck, especially with a lack of [[onboarding]]. Documentation favours people that read but it may feel cold to those who would rather learn from someone. Better to have more than one entry point into getting deeper.
Launchlet is very programming centric and so it can seem intimidating for those who are less comfortable, so I tried to put a friendler face on it by doing regular video tutorials in Cooking with Launchlet. Some goals are for me to:
- show people how to do cool things
- illuminate undocumented aspects of the system
- demystify how the API, and sometimes even how JavaScript works
- become more aware of what isn't obvious to whom
- put myself out there
- create sharable content
One of the 100 steps to success.
