I hear you on value of articles diving deeper. The Postgres docs are awesome, but I find them most valuable as reference docs once you already know how to do something. I find if you're trying to learn how to do a new thing they're not quite as useful. There is definitely some value in filling the gap between a hello world of JSON and exactly how to use a specific operator. I was gonna follow up with if there are any specific things that you might find useful on the Postgres arena would be happy to start personally writing a few, but for yourself sounds like docs are good enough :)

Thank you for the gesture. I love the PGSQL docs. And I usually experiment my way through the docs, as most of the time, I am usually solving a problem and will learn a bit of the underlying mechanism, quirks and tips for performance before going ahead with a method. For those, I find those docs more than sufficient. I found the same with Django docs too. The worst offender is NodeJS, and to a lesser extent, React. Edit : If only there was a method to allow users to annotate comments onto the core docs, and there was a way to upvote / downvote the comments, we could have better documentation. I have seen primitive versions of such mechanisms in PHP docs.
