Offline version of Atom Flight Manual #743

Open colin-intj opened 2 years ago

colin-intj commented 2 years ago

Summary

There should be an offline version of the Atom Flight Manual. A few possible file types for it include (but are not exclusive to):

Motivation

Creating an offline version of the manual will give those with little or no access to the internet an opportunity to learn how to use Atom. Also, users could install it on an e-reader, which will enable them to read it without the risk of eye strain. These two factors will allow Atom to reach a wider community and create a more diverse user base.

Additional context

I want to become an Atom user, but I still live with my parents (I'm currently a high school senior), and they don't want me using the internet all day. I've been devoting all of my internet time to schoolwork, my job, and writing college and scholarship essays. Because of this, I, unfortunately, don't have enough time to read the online version of the flight manual. While I have limited access to the internet, I have a Kindle Paperwhite, which my parents allow me to use whenever I want. I'd like to have an offline version of the flight manual so that I can read it whenever I'm offline.

Hey, I would love to help with creating an offline version of the manual - what about a PDF? I am an experienced technical writer but new to GitHub. Would love to help and learn about contributing to open source projects at the same time.
