Describe the feature

Compile currently-existing text and image guides into one placd (e.g. documentation, github wiki, website)

Describe the usage

This is not a duplicate request for an in-app tutorial mode.

There are helpful guides which you have already made scattered over release notes and issues. You can copy-and-paste your tips into wiki pages, a docs system, or even a single really long markdown file and link it prominently in the readme or app. This would allow users to find information for themselves without trawling manually through the github.

My specific user experience is below:

I was having trouble understanding the new UI. The "Simple" mode doesn't have a tutorial, which I understand as it's just a secondary mode. However, there is no "settings" or "help" or even "about" section in the app. Most users would give up at this point, but I knew that I could get to the github page through the F-droid page.

I couldn't find an answer when searching issues; the README doesn't have the answers, nor any information to where to find them; the Wiki hasn't been updated in a year; the most recent release notes didn't help. That is almost all of the surgace level of the github.

I found my answer by opening the full Releases tab and scrolling through every one until I got part of the information I needed, halfway through 3.0.0-beta05:

You can now move them using the '<<' and '>>' buttons, or select directly the new position by click in the displayed index (1/2).

I realised I had been moving Actions around the whole time because I thought the << and >> buttons were stepping forwards/backwards through the list of actions.

While I am sure the information I need is out there, I had spent 15 minutes on trying to figure out basic functionality and failed. I gave up and reverted to older version of the app that, while buggier and fewer-featured, I can understand.

Is it a duplicate?

+1. I was looking for info too. Specifically, code section releated . ( which file contains the clciking methods). Yes, i failed to locate. I guess im not good enough in coding/android. Though i can make sense out of the names i.e probably "dumb" may have the click releated functions. Or perhaps "common".
