It is tough to strike a balance between a good introduction for technical people and non-technical people.
https://lbry.io/quickstart https://lbry.io/quickstart is good practical introduction.
https://lbry.io/what https://lbry.io/what is a more theoretical introduction.
We've got a WIP new homepage (more of a wireframe) at https://lbry.io/home2 https://lbry.io/home2 if you want to share any feedback!
- donohoe 10y agoYeah, still no ideas what it is you do. I'm learning more from HN comments then the site. A plain english explanation (one to two paragraphs?) would be a huge help.
- mwambua 10y agoI like this new page better. It gets straight to the point. I imagine readers coming in from HN would require a more technical intro, along the lines of this[https://matrix.org/ https://matrix.org/]. Try and explain why we should be excited about this from a technical perspective... because it seems like technical people will be your first set of users. EDIT: The TLDR from the essay at https://lbry.io/what https://lbry.io/what looks pretty nice. Why don't you use that?
- pgl 10y agoFair enough, I recognise that it's hard. This article does a good job of introducing LBRY, btw: https://bryanalexander.org/2017/03/19/what-is-lbry-and-what-does-it-mean-for-education/ https://bryanalexander.org/2017/03/19/what-is-lbry-and-what-... (h/t @doctornemo). I also saw it described as "A cross between Bitcoin and Napster", which was fairly illuminating. I'm sure you wouldn't consider it accurate, but as a starting point perhaps something like this would be useful to have? At the very least, #1 on the FAQ should really be the answer to "What is LBRY?"
- kauffj 10y agoI re-ordered the FAQ, this was a great suggestion. Thank you!
