Developers struggle to ramp up on unfamiliar tools and codebases
Developers trying to learn niche tools and frameworks report missing or hard-to-find development guidance, and unfamiliar APIs and terminology make the learning curve steeper. One signal also describes the effort of creating onboarding materials as tedious. A lightweight product could help organize and deliver that guidance, but it cannot supply authoritative content unless knowledgeable maintainers contribute it.
For developers learning niche tools and maintainers creating onboarding. Mentioned from Feb 2022 to Oct 2024 on Bluesky, GitHub and Hacker News.

Me and a lot of users has little to none knowledge about GDNative and C++, now that GDNative is "deprecated" in 4.x we have even less knowledge about such powerful tool, some of them:
Segatools are a pain in the ass to work with. All the stuff I find is for playing the games. For working on it - zero information. I need to read guides and manuals, but what the hell am I supposed to do if there aren't any?
