There is a lot of space to improve the documentation of VideoCutTool, Understand how this tool works and make 5 valid edits to complete this task successfully.

Some ideas for improving the documentation:

  • Move all the implementation details (background info, technical implementation, wireframes, etc.) to a subpage.
  • The proposed workflow can be adjusted slightly to highlight more how the tool works in its current shape and form. Tool screenshots would be a nice addition!
  • "Your feedback on the proposed workflow.. " message in the notice can be modified to invite feedback from users on the workings of the tool.
  • Overall, I think the documentation can be re-written to cover the following sections/points:
    • What the tool does?
    • Who it is for?
    • How it works?
    • How to contribute? Repository link, etc.
    • Contact
