MLX documentation writing style suggestions

Open RubenNijhuis opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Personally I found the MLX docs a little hard to read and would advice rewriting the explanation (not the inherent content)

Currently its set up as a tutorial series which is fine but isn't really in my opininion how documentation should work. A student should be free to try things for themselves with the docs providing the information on how to use those functions.

I'd take an example out of the react docs and compare how their more formal approach can bring a legible explanation to the features. https://reactjs.org/docs/introducing-jsx.html

(React Router)[https://reactrouterdotcom.fly.dev/] also has a nice way of splitting the docs in half by letting you choose between a tutorial and the complete docs

If this is something you are open for I would love to help and we can bounce ideas back and forth.

After having read docs for close to 5 years I have a sense of what works and what doesn't after also having to write docs for internships and new developers at companies.

Hope to hear from you.
