Honestly, I feel like the app should be "self-explaining" (i.e. if there are bits where a user might stumble on a problem, have an explanation right there in the program (context is super important), maybe hidden behind a "how do I use this?" button) and if you have a particular problem just do a web search, or ask in the support forums. To me it seems like manuals are from the 90ies, or reserved for highly specialized programms like audio editing or data analytics programs...
But I am not discouraging anyone who wants to work on it. Am Sonntag, 16.
