    Writing a user manual takes so LOOOONG!

    The temptation to use AI is strong. But I will resist, for proper human-written help is an advantage. I hope!

      @amyworrall No one reads manuals, that's like the perfect application for AI's. You need something on paper that no one actually uses.

        To be fair, while writing this I've found and fixed two bugs, because it's making me try out all the obscure feature combinations in the app.

              @dimsumthinking @amyworrall That AI is good for producing content that isn’t going to be looked at? 😬
              There is a reason why we have TipKit, the attention span of most users doesn’t last longer than half a page of manual.
