Actually at LVGL I don't think that we have too many tutorials. What we have are - ready to use projects for many IDEs and several dev boards to easily get started - many simple, short and targeted examples that can be tested by calling functions like lv_example_chart_7() - some complex demos to have good looking UIs too - documentation, but it should be used only for specific, in depth knowledge about a module or widget. In most of the cases the API docs in the header files are enough too.
If we need to create a tutorial it means that something is so complicated that we need to explain it in great detail. I know it's not always possible, but in an ideal world we could have only demo videos with just a little bit of info about how to do it. Based on that hint people should see themselves how it was done. It's somewhat similar with the docs too. The details should be for power users, but I'd like to get started on an okay level by reading one-two paragraphs. 🙂 Gabor On Tue, Jul 9, 2024, 21:36 Alan C.
