Description

in the doc-updates branch I've been working on rewriting the documentation in Obsidian for now. I'd love feedback and/or contributions.

  • What do you like, dislike, or find is missing from current documentation?
  • How do you tend to solve issues you encounter when using factory_bot? (google search? book? other?)
  • If you happen to look at the WIP rewrite, what are your thoughts
