Description

It seems like novice Embereños find it increasingly hard to get started with ember-light-table. Most already struggle with passing a table to their {{light-table}} component invocation in the template and get this error:

[ember-light-table] table must be an instance of Table

The live demo page and cookbok are great for the more experienced developers, but are way too complicated for beginners. Many don't seem to understand the simple-table mixin.

We're happy to assist users in our #e-light-table slack channel, but having to answer the same questions all over again is needlessly time-consuming and frustrating, for supporters and users alike. One user mentioned that there was a vimeo video showcasing ember-light-table, but it was apparently removed.

tbh I didn't even know about that video, but I think it's an awesome idea. Someone (?) should create a short introductory video, that shows how to create a very simple ELT component. No mixins, no ember-concurrency, no special stuff. A second video might show these advanced concepts and maybe transform this basic table into the simple-table example from the demo page.
