Currently, the Mojo documentation assumes that the reader is already familiar with system programming concepts. This makes it harder for new and new-ish programmers to understand how to use the low-level features that Mojo provides. I suggest a few articles explaining how the specific feature works, how to use it and a few examples of use cases.

A list of features I have in mind is as follows:

• How to use autotuning
• Coroutines
• DType (It's used in examples on the Modular website but I have no idea what it is)
• The Functional module in the standard library (vectorize, parallelize, tile etc.)
• SIMD

This is not a comprehensive list and there may be other things that programmers struggle to understand.

We need to change the code as per: https://docs.modular.com/mojo/changelog.html#changed

I like to stay up to date on the latest additions to the Mojo Team Answers page, but currently, it's hard to do that from the website, so I come to this repo to look through the latest commits.

This made me think that maybe a feature could be added to the Mojo Team Answers page that allowed you to sort them by the date they were added. Or you could add something like a "Latest Changes" page that was like a changelog for the website.

Just an idea. Thanks for collecting and organizing all this useful information.

@mojodojodev this is a really cool effort, I like it and would like to contribute to it. Are you looking for contributions?
If yes, would it be via a fork and PR?

While browsing this site using the Safari browser for iOS, I found some bugs:
"search icon" not working
"hamburger menu" not working
"toggle color mode" not working

Phone: iPhone 6. iOS Version: 12.5.7

"Fill the 8 values with random integer values."

This is true only for first expression in which integers are provided. But in the second one, floating point numbers are used. Maybe safer will be to say:

"Fill the 8 values with random numbers."

In current week, there is a entry called "Using async fn". Source of it looks like that:

2023-07-08 Github Alex Kirchhoff

But this links points to Discord discussion, so it will be much better if it will have "Discord discussion" or sth like that in its text.

There are a lot of other wrong sources but I am not sure if its general rule, that all Discord sources have wrong name

The code examples lack a button to allow you to copy the entire code in each example.

I know this is work in progress, and I'm looking forward to contribute with this so we can build a great learning environment on Mojo. That said, I think we can add the builtins for stringliteral and ref (https://docs.modular.com/mojo/MojoBuiltin/StringRef.html) (https://docs.modular.com/mojo/MojoBuiltin/StringLiteral.html). You can assign me for this. Thanks and great work

An example for isdigit is missing. The String module guide should be updated with such an example.

I would like to see separate news about that, because in a post where Suvash created Game of live, he also linked a very interesting and newbie friendly introduction to Mojo:

It helped me a lot and it may be very valuable for other folks also.

"Print part of the string sting using a slice"

("string" repeated 2 times)

Something like what I've done here: https://github.com/gautam-e/mojodojo.dev/tree/main (screenshot below) makes it convenient to go from repo to website.

Just a suggestion. Not that important.
