Seems like a solid move; I'd like to suggest a slight rejiggering:

  • keep it in 'Get Started'
  • have page 1 of 'Get Started' be the install guide
  • Follow with Holo World etc
  • Maybe deployment and packaging could be merged with /get-started/distribute-your-app and become a proper full-on resource. I wonder if it was out of scope for a getting started guide in the first place.

keep it in 'Get Started'

But its not conceptual -- its specific to developers actually building apps. I feel like concepts should be purely for understanding holochain not using it. When someone is installing the dev tools they've moved solidly into using it.

I don't think deployment and packaging belongs in "getting stated" -- I think it deserves it's own page. There's going to be a lot more content needed related to packaging, distribution and updating.

That said I don't have the bandwidth to go back and forth, so I'm happy to let you make the changes you want to this PR and get it merged.

I appreciate your engaging when you don't have much bandwidth, and I don't want to pull you away too much more. Can I ask one more question though? I'd like clarification on

But its not conceptual -- its specific to developers actually building apps. I feel like concepts should be purely for understanding holochain not using it. When someone is installing the dev tools they've moved solidly into using it.

So the way I see it, 'Get Started' is all about taking action and starting to use the dev tools (but before you're getting into serious dev work). It isn't currently under Core Concepts, though (which is 100% conceptual) -- maybe that's why the confusion?

I don't think deployment and packaging belongs in "getting stated" -- I think it deserves it's own page. There's going to be a lot more content needed related to packaging, distribution and updating.

100% agree; not sure why it's there right now.

ah sorry my bad -- yes all your suggestions make sense to me

This looks good to me now. I would like to get a third set of eyes on it, but I'm not sure who to bring in. @matthewjosef ? @marycamacho ? The tl;dr for this change is that the getting started guide is getting broken up into four pages to make it more digestible.

@matthme could you re-review the changes in the last commit, to see if I'm describing your kangaroo repos accurately? Thanks 🙏🏼

I do feel like these pages probably don't belong under "Getting Started", but that can wait until we have the start of a "Build" section:

Distribute your App
Holochain Upgrade 0.1 → 0.2
Setup For a Local Event

Otherwise looks good -- so much more legible IMO.

yeah, those definitely need to move @mattyg -- I was gonna wait until we had a build guide, then create a howtos section.

Although... does 'set up for a local event' feel like it belongs under build? not sure.
