🕑 Added 2023-04-29 06:19:27 +0000 UTCThe following link will be used for documentation for the future:

The documentation went from about 5 pages to over 32, and I'm still not done, but at this point I need to get this out as a draft so that it can start helping users while I iterate on it. Here are some highlights of the new doc:
- It is updated to include the new Wi-Fi modes, and documents the various setup types from Wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi (adhoc), to using a keyboard on the device
- It documents how to use the config page, what each setting does, and how its used
- The imaging steps are updated to use Balena Etcher which should help out with some of the imaging issues some were hitting
- Documentation for 'advanced' scenarios is added such as using RClone to sync things such as onedrive, dropbox, google drive, etc.
- How to connect to a NAS is now documented! (Thankyou David Huth for your excellent help there!)
- A troubleshooting section has been added with common support issues
- A FAQ has been added to address questions that we get such as 'can we port it to a different device/OS'
- The API/http requests are now in the documentation so you don't have to run the doc to find out how to automate things to talk to the frame.
There is of course a ton more. And documentation is something that can always get better. Now that we have a solid base we can expand it. If you have any feedback, please let us know. The April release will be out May 1st and become the May release as we let it sit in beta for a few days to make sure last minute changes/regressions don't tank the stability. Once that's done we'll call it the May release, provide it for Day 1 patreons and put out a new 'full' image, and then get back to feature work!
