I don't want to spend 5 minutes getting a feel for it (first link on the page) before I have some clue what it is or whether I care.

Putting one sentence of what Graphiti is on the actual homepage would help adoption enormously. "Graphiti makes RESTful Resources a first-class concept" doesn't count as an explanation of what Graphiti is. "This enables reading and writing a graph of data in a single request, a schema with backwards-compatible gaurantee, end-to-end integration test patterns, seamless microservices and much more" might be a great explanation for the developer who wrote Graphiti but doesn't ease me as a first time visitor to the site into a comfortable understanding of whether Graphiti will solve my problem.

It's truly astounding how universal this problem has become in tech.

Thanks for that link.

I hear you. This project is vast, and distilling to a meaningful sentence has been challenging. I will continue trying to refine this, but in the meantime the first 60s of this video should give a sense of what we're about https://youtu.be/_QqXjZDzTf4

This here is the bane of 99% stuff these days. You need a PhD in buzwords to understand what something does.

Doesn't help that the word "graph" can mean multiple things, from a visual representation to a mathematical abstraction to... well, whatever it means in the context of REST.
