    I’ve had exactly the opposite thought - every tutorial or explanation I find starts from scratch with create-react-app or something when I already have a project and I just want to know how to use your library.

      Yeah this gets to me as well. Worst of all is that I think these people are missing a trick. Create another article with the basic setup and link through to it instead and you get a free SEO win.

      I was thinking about picking languages from scratch. If it’s about libraries it is kinda expected to know some basics.

      I have been through the same. I can find a lot of tutorials on the super easy stuff but more advanced or just a bit more advance stuff is up to me to figuring out. It is so bad that i start with documentations first then try it out myself, then google problems. I do not checkout tutorials anymore, only if i am super new on the subject. Chat gpt has been a lot more helpful, either it helps me with the problem or give me hints on what to google for or try out.
