The docs do seem to be a little lacking - it's mostly technical stuff about methods and might not be what the developer is looking for. Looking at documentations from Laravel, SailsJS, even Django, it's easier to get the point of what you're expected to do to get X done.

Other notes on the documentation:

* Very little info on how the templates (views) work. Can I use a different engine for them? No info about that.

* (just as an example of many) I've noticed that a scheduler is implemented and that it's mentioned in the site. It is also noted on github that there's no info on the scheduler yet. So, why would you include the features that no one will be able to use unless they're willing to get into the source code of Nodal itself?

I see that the project has been going for almost a year now and it looks like it's going a great direction. Just needs a more user friendly documentation to be fully usable, I'd say.

I still have so much work to do to ensure there's great community support. I've been too cautious to release software in the past and over-optimized for the wrong things. My goal is to get this out in the wild so I can learn what people are most interested in, and optimize from there. Everything will be covered soon!
