Enhance & Improve Astral + EASIER Documentation (Onboarding Guides Included)

[johnx25bd]

Summary

We need to polish our existing documentation—both design and content—so contributors and users can quickly grasp Astral + EASIER’s architecture and features. This includes re-styling the docs site, refining navigation menus, extending content based on our new code architecture guidelines, and creating clear onboarding guides. We’re also considering the feasibility of LLM-powered doc generation or maintenance.

Purpose

• Provide a more user-friendly, visually appealing documentation portal.
• Update structure and navigation so readers can find relevant topics quickly.
• Improve and extend existing content to cover recent code changes.
• Create accurate onboarding guides for newcomers.
• Explore ways to automate or streamline doc updates with LLMs.

Requirements

1. Styling & Design Improvements

   • Refresh the look & feel (fonts, colors, layout). Consider migrating to another system, or updating docusaurus docs. (I personally like the aesthetic of Vitepress, even though I don't know Vue .... see Farcaster's docs)
   • Ensure consistent styling across pages (titles, headings, code snippets).
   • Align with Coding + Documentation Standards

2. Structure & Navigation

   • Update menus, sidebars, and hierarchy to reflect the project’s evolving architecture.
   • Make sure each main section (Astral vs. EASIER) is clearly separated but still cross-linked.

3. Content Expansion

   • Extend or revise docs to align with new code architecture and documentation guidelines.
   • (Optional) Evaluate using LLMs for summarizing or generating doc content to keep it current.

4. Onboarding Guides

   • Create a step-by-step walkthrough for new contributors (setup, environment, basic usage).
   • Include “Hello World” or “First Contribution” examples.

5. Accessibility & Discovery

   • Provide clear links or “waypoints” from READMEs to the docs site.
   • Ensure top-level README or any wiki pages reference the new guides.

Acceptance Criteria

• A refreshed documentation site or section with an updated design scheme.
• Clear, logical menus that map to the updated code structure.
• Comprehensive guides for new contributors that include setup steps, code examples, and references to advanced topics.
• Consideration or initial implementation of LLM-powered doc generation (if feasible).
• Positive feedback from at least a few community members (or team leads) on readability and ease of navigation.

Tasks

• Redesign doc pages (layout, CSS/theme adjustments).
• Restructure menus/sections to reflect new code architecture.
• Extend content to cover new features or modules (e.g., new api/ folder, etc.).
• Draft onboarding guides for new contributors (local dev setup, basic usage).
• Investigate LLM-based doc generation or updates (outline feasibility).
• Solicit internal or community review, then refine as needed.
