    Very interesting! I found the docs pretty good myself when installing OpenWRT on an old ERX. It seems to be patchy though and some docs are an absolute cluster-fuck. E.g. the BT OpenReach one is comprehensive but an absolute nightmare. Whereas EdgeRouter ones are short, sharp and quick.

    I tried using Lua years ago to do a basic bot for the web. Had to grab some JSON, parse it and post something. Dunno if things have changed but Lua really isn’t good for any of it. I don’t think the JSON lib worked and couldn’t find any decent web libs at the time.

    I’ve used it for AwesomeWM configs but that’s convinced me that Lua’s more of a dynamic config language more than a programming language.

      Well, the docs I needed as a developer were very different than what would be needed for a user. I was creating new features as integrations with our other product. Making new UI pages had basically no documentation at all at the time. Not sure if it has changed since then.
