docs's Introduction

Branch Docs

Repository for Branch's public documentation https://docs.branch.io

Goal

  • Get partners up and running as fast as possible

    • Educate with a single best path (do not list all the override methods)

    • Educate with working code examples

    • Bullet point key points, procedures, and steps to promote progression

    • Use shorter sentences with simpler words (3rd grade) to prevent ambiguity

    • Trigger action by beginning each sentence with a verb

    • Write in the viewpoint of the user's wants, not what Branch wants

    • Keep is simple (KISS) (1 -> 2 -> 3)

    • Don't repeat yourself (DRY) (this can be found here)

  • Answer any question a partner will have

    • Make sure you answer why, what, how (example) with each section
