The other day I wanted to learn Svelte. Even though the tutorials on the Svelte homepage are great, I found the MDN Svelte tutorial to be better: it explains the conceptual differences wrt other frontend frameworks well, it explains in detail how to enable Typescript and migrate your projects, and it has a dedicated section that describes different deployment options.

While of - of course - all of these infos can be found somewhere on the web as well, I very much appreciate such a well-written, holistic intro to a framework. I signed up for the MDN Plus 5 plan.

P.S.: If someone from the MDN team is reading this, maybe include a "sign up" link directly in the blog article from Hermina.

Same with Django. It feels like the MDN tutorials come from someone that knows more of what you’ll run into when learning it. The Django docs while great have a bit of that “I built this so let me give you ALL the details or a very basic thing”. MSN is right in the middle.

That’s the difference between the person who made the docs

- Being a good technical writer. - Being some who learned the tool/platform rather than someone who built the platform.

It much harder to write a doc on something if you’ve never been able to look at it from an outside perspective.
