Research direction

Start with the current website and the react-docgen repository description to inventory the tool's features and determine where documentation is missing. Check how component files using JSDoc type definitions are handled; done means the website explains supported features, usage, and whether JSDoc is supported.

Description

The current website is missing documentation for most features. Are there plans of adding this?

I'm trying to see how to use this tool to document components that use JSDoc for type definitions, and frankly don't know where to start. Is JSDoc even supported?
