When's a doc coming?

[Nasko-5]

I'm sort of confused and don't know where to look for help with textual, as no tutorials exist online, as far as I'm aware.
I've looked at the help in the README but i still cant figure out what the examples in the repo are doing
there are probably other people who are in a similar situation, i just haven't seen anyone make a discussion about it yet.

so, when is documentation for textual coming?

I wonder if we might make this a community effort?

I'd be more than willing to dive into the library and write a bunch of tutorials and maybe even a course. But only once there's a relatively stable API. cc @willmcgugan

And that would no doubt be awesome! But there are some big changes coming, that will make the API far simpler.

Bear with us!

[tusharsadhwani]

Keep us updated here :)

@willmcgugan is there an estimate of when these "big changes" are coming and or can you point me to the planned changes?

You could check out the css branch.

Hi @willmcgugan! I would recommend that you consider filling out this application so that Textualize can participate in Google's 2022 Season of Docs program (deadline is March 25th). If accepted, Textualize will receive grant money to hire someone that will focus on documentation efforts for 6 months. I participated as a technical writer in 2019 and had a good experience so I'm considering doing it again this year :)

+1 on GSoD, it's a really good program

Consider setting up textual.readthedocs.io whenever possible, if you use automation like mkdocstrings it should take no time at all.
