I'm not a web developer. None of this is intuitive or easy to grasp for me. Even the inclusion of the demo and example directories weren't easy for me to find because they aren't standardized. The fsf also thinks that free documentation is important. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-doc.html . I view software like this as pretty exclusionary. We will have to agree to disagree, but I would say that the amount of people with requisite experience to understand software is lower than the amount of people who are (or in my particular case, were) interested in learning about it by looking through the source. This interaction is a prime example of why the free software movement stalls. Software written by insiders, for insiders is exclusionary from my point of view. |

Where do you draw the line? At one point, you have to accept that some projects require deep and context-specific knowledge. I can't be expected to be handheld if I dive deep into some math libraries without knowing the prerequisites. And if I do anyway, it's up to me to figure out at least the basics on my own.
The README has the examples and explanations you're looking for, they're just using the language common in the peer-to-peer ecosystem, as it's a peer-to-peer library/cli/daemon.
