Hey there, Marion and Greg 👋

Thank you

Before we jump into things, I just wanted to take a second to say thanks for this opportunity. Hasura is a product I've loved for the past few years and it's made my work-life considerably easier. To even sit down with you all and have a conversation is a dream; many thanks!

Docusaurus

Overkill? Maybe. When I was reading through Muskaan's instructions, I pretty quickly assumed I'd be writing things down for you in md files. However, when I refreshed an open window Tuesday and saw that you guys had upgraded to v2, I got really excited.

So, I decided to complete this assignment using Docusaurus.

  • If you want the repo itself, have at it
  • You've also been added as collaborators to a cloud project; if there's any issues, give me a shout

mdx!

My excitement really took off when I realized mdx is baked into Docusaurus. Docs should be more than reference material and the added functionality mdx provides is enormously powerful. I'd really love to talk about this!

Some initial thoughts

I also wanted to share a few thoughts that shaped the work you'll see. I look forward to discussing these ideas more with you, but wanted to put these concepts in front of you early on.

Consistency creates clarity

Good documentation is dependent upon a consistent narrative serving as a through line from start to finish. This consistent voice gives clarity to the reader and allows them to jump in at any point/document and feel comfortable.

Clarity creates engagement

When readers have this clarity, they're intrinsically more engaged with the content. Greater engagement leads to greater understanding and satisfaction.

Engagement creates happy users

A knowledgeable and satisfied user is a happy user! And, typically, a happy user is a good customer...
