I'm sure this is a difference-of-learning or whatever, but I'm usually unwilling to try a product until I can understand it and how it works from the documentation

Understandable. Our current take is that there's not really much to know, and that the people this will really light up are good with that. Of course, we'll flesh out documentation!

I'm really jazzed about this particular product as a product (I just really enjoy using it), but the post is mostly about how we built it, and deliberately not much about how best to use it.
