The Importance of Good Documentation or/and Examples

Today I paired with a colleague for a bit. He was working on a POC to replace the one component in our stack with another that seemed much more stable. The component being looked at as a replacement seemed like a perfect fit for what we wanted.

The biggest issue is that there was basically no documentation that could be found and no good example projects online to work out how to use this. The lack of documentation could potentially also be the reason that there is less adoption of this component and also why there are less good examples. If a tool has one or both of these it is far easier to adopt.
