Can you give some specifics about what's lacking in the dune docs?

  It has been a while. I admit I haven't read the entire tutorial and I checked the website just now -- seems like stuff has been added (and maybe modified). Looks a bit more understandable and beginner-friendly now! I'll have to give my two hobby projects another go from scratch. :) Is it OK for me to hit you up on OCaml's Discourse forum if I need help or want to give extra feedback when I am able to, in the future?

    Sure, happy to help.

  I think the documentation would benefit from suggesting the use of the `dune init ...` commands for beginners - ideally somewhere on the github readme or the readthedocs quickstart. When starting out with OCaml, as I was more accustomed to makefiles, the process of setting up dune projects was a major hurdle. I later found the init commands while looking through the man pages, and was surprised it wasn't more clearly mentioned in the project documentation.
