Hi Lobsters,

I’m the creator of Algernon, a small web server, and recently received a very nice feature request asking for more instructional material for it. Many options spring to mind, such as writing a PDF in the form of a book, creating a series of YT videos or create an interactive tutorial like Try Redis. So far, I have crafted a Markdown document named TUTORIAL.md and submitted it to the GitHub repository, but it feels a bit underwhelming.

What is the ultimate way to provide a tutorial for an open source project? And what types of tutorials do you find easiest to learn from? Any advice or ideas are welcome.
