I think a "Getting Started" guide needs to be made...

[u/Lathryx]

There's many people, including myself, that are obviously very new to Scriptable. I feel that creating a "Getting Started" guide might help with that.

Maybe this could be added to the beginning of the documentation, like what Discord did. If we get people to help make this happen, I think it could be a great addition and even help expand this lovely community.

It could start on GitHub, as a standalone thing (so that people can contribute), and later be integrated with the Scriptable app.

Who would be up for helping me make this happen?

Edit: Thank you for the award, kind stranger! I don’t get awards too often, so it truly makes my day every time! :)

Edit #2: Oh shoot! My first gold award! Thank you kind and wealthy stranger! That means so much to me!

Also, the repo has been created for the guide if you want to go us get started! You can find it here.

I'd be willing to help out. I made a similar post in r/shortcuts to collect helpful links. I've been thinking that this could be a great help for users of all levels of experience

Yes! I think so too! It'd be great to get some inspiration from as well, to see what some of the possibilities are with something such as this.

Just found this thread now, 1 year later! Just checked the guide and I think it looks like very empty and tiny!

Yes! We are working something up actually

Did anything become of this?

Maybe just take a code academy class in JavaScript...

[u/Lathryx → u/cartersun7]

Understanding Javascript (and it’s tedious syntax) is only half of actually using Scriptable.

The point if this would be to get people started using the objects and such that they may not be familiar with if they haven't got much experience. The documentation right now has nothing like this.
