The PowerShell Guide is a living book and has a little bit of growth until it’s mature enough to get a drink.
Here are some of thing we are considering for the PowerShell Guide.
You’re welcome to add your own ideas in our Issues and Discussions.
Here some thing we’d like to do:
Search should be available on any page. In case you’re not quite sure what you want (like most of the human race)
We should be able to see all of the topics hierarchically. Not that we love pecking orders, but, filesystems are somewhat build atop them.
We’d love to present the concepts in the guide at various levels of knowledge. For example, when we’re introducing the concept of a programming language, we doubt you’re far beyond 100 level of knowledge.
As much as we all may dislike it, people spend time on social media. Therefore, the PowerShell Guide should excel at integration into various social media sites. At least in theory. In practice, we’ll see which ones exist in a few months.
We’d very much like the PowerShell Guide’s module to be as nice to view in a terminal as it is in a browser. It just feels right, or, less wrong.
We should be able to determine when content is published or updated, and use this with a notch of HTML5 local storage to determine if you’ve read this topic.
Those who forget history are doomed to search online again. Let us save them from this fate by using some HTML5 local storage to help keep track of what has been read.
As we’ve just been talking about how to track what you’re doing, please, rest assured, we don’t have any interest in you or your data. We want everyone to understand PowerShell and do not collect any information ourselves. Shall we ever add advertisers, I’m sure they will have their own terms and conditions.
Not that we wish too much more pain upon ourselves, but we probably want to figure out how to be installable as a client app, which involves a somewhat misleadingly named web standard called a Service Worker.
The color schems should be more customizable than they currently are, and should be remembered as you move from page to page.
Also, any settings related to history or storage should be available in roughly the same place, lest you want to look up our addresses and brain us for poor web design.
A picture can be worth a thousand words (or five thousand produced by GPT). We we would love to have a few more graphs and photos throughout the site.
In order to avoid insanity thru repetition, we should probably centralize our examples, so that we can reuse demos and examples throughout multiple topics.
We’d love to be able to cohesively link to lots of other modules. Figuring out how, exactly, might be a bit tricky.
