Derivative UserGuide Website feels redundant/unecessary

Hello! I was doing some research on Dependency classes and when you google Dependency Class, the first result is

To my eyes it has the exact same information as

The UserGuide documentation for Python seems just formatted differently and doesn’t have hyperlinks. It just feels like a “worse” version of the documentation. Worse in that it has less information and functionality then the Docs version.

When I click on the UserGuide Python documentation I almost always realize I’ve made a mistake, leave the page and reopen the version of the page in docs.derivative.ca. The UserGuide makes sense for concepts and tutorials, but to me feels confusing why Python documentation is also hosted there.

I am very aware this is not a very important topic and getting into some insane nitpicking. Just something i’m curious of the Derivative team have thought about. Realistically if I have to continue quitting out of the user guide and going to the docs my life will still be okay. I am also just biased because I really like the way docs.derivative.ca is laid out and organized.

Hi @mattrossalbatross,

thank you for your feedback. On a technical note, the UserGuide indeed is a differently formatted version of docs.derivative.ca. The content is shared across both places and should be identical on both.


Side note:
My browser has a little extra search box where I can specify a suggest URL meaning if I type into it, the search box already presents me with options. This suggest url is https://docs.derivative.ca/api.php?action=opensearch&format=json&formatversion=2&search=%s&namespace=0&limit=10

Great way for me to quickly get to pages.

cheers
