While the frontpage doesn't go in depth, the docs quickly do: First with https://docs.iroh.computer/what-is-iroh and then following up with the how it works section. The docs are actually good from what I can see so far. From what questions you brought up so for it seems to answer them pretty quickly.

The doc still doesn't show what such a 'key' looks like? Why can't there be a simple infographic that goes like

The info graphic shows the flow in `What is iroh?`, and quickly looking at the endpoint area you can see what the key is: https://docs.iroh.computer/connecting/creating-endpoint#pers...

It might be the docs just mesh with how I think about things. The creators should expand on this, since people seem to not mesh with the current info.

I'd quibble with "quickly", but sure, this seems like the starting point for figuring out how it works: https://docs.iroh.computer/concepts/endpoints From a marketing standpoint, for a technical audience, I think it should be quicker.
