Documentation Title: Crawlee Quickstart Reviewer Information: Name: Uchenyi Kesandu Date of Review: September 27, 2024 Review Level: Beginner 1. Summary: The Crawlee Quickstart is a technical documentation. It is a brief tutorial that helps developers quickly set up and get started with the Crawlee Library for web crawling and data scraping tasks. It includes the installation guide, example code and the different classes of crawler 2. Clarity and Comprehensiveness:

Clarity: Is the information easy to understand? It starts with “import Runnable from ‘@site/src/components/RunnableCodeBlock’ ”, It is not really the proper start. There should be an Overview that first explains what the quickstart guides us on, then a “Before you begin section” detailing the prerequisites and things you know and what tools you should have already set up before giving out the instructions. Then choose your crawler section is more straightforward although it is a little bit too technical. A beginner will still be trying to grasp what scraping with Crawlee means and it is bringing in yet another concept classes of crawler with no illustrations or code block to break it down further. Then finally there comes the “before you start”, so the question that comes to mind is “What about those import statements at the top?” What were they for? Does it mean we are yet to start the scraping and installation process? The installation with Crawler CLI is easy to understand and is straightforward. However, it is not enough to know how to install the Crawler, one should also know how to use it. An example should be broken down step by step with supporting pictures so that after the quickstart, one can perform a basic web scraping for the website. That example is missing in the quickstart documentation. Beyond that the documentation is written in clear paragraphs and sentences that are easy to understand. Although it might be wise to further explain some technical parts further. Are the sentences and paragraphs clear and straightforward? Yes Is the language appropriate for the intended audience? The question is who is your audience? Senior developers or just developers and people willing to try out something new. If the latter is the case, then No. Some parts are too technical and should be broken down further with supporting illustrations or pictures.

Comprehensiveness: Does the documentation cover all necessary topics? No, there is no before you start section Are there any missing sections that are critical for understanding? The example to be run is missing Does it provide sufficient examples, diagrams, or references? No, most of the links are Not Found 3. Accuracy and Relevance: Accuracy: Are the technical details correct? Yes Is there any outdated or incorrect information? No Relevance: Is the content relevant to the current state of the product/technology? Yes Does it align with the latest best practices and standards (e.g., Google’s technical documentation style guide, Microsoft Manual of Style)? Yes 4. Structure and Organization: Logical Flow: Is the documentation logically structured? Yes Are sections and subsections well-organized? Yes Navigation: Is it easy to navigate through the document? Yes Are there clear headings, subheadings, and an index/table of contents? Asides the beginning, Yes ; although the headings can be optimized better. 5. Visual and Design Elements: Visuals: Are diagrams, screenshots, and tables used effectively? No Are visuals clear, properly labelled, and relevant? No Design: Is the document aesthetically pleasing? Yes Is there consistent use of fonts, colors, and formatting? Yes 6. Suggestions for Improvement: Provide specific, actionable suggestions to improve the documentation. Include a basic example to get me started so that I can run my first web scraping and automation Include an Introduction or Overview section Mention any sections that need expansion, rephrasing, or additional content. Crawling section Introduction 7. Notable Strengths: Highlight what the documentation does well. The Choose your crawler and Installation with Crawler CLI Mention sections that are particularly well-written or effective: The Choose your crawler and Installation with Crawler CLI 8. Identified Errors/Inconsistencies: List any errors, inconsistencies, or ambiguities. The import statements at the beginning is not the best way to introduce a quickstart document. Provide examples where necessary. 9. Best Practices Compliance: Standards: Does the documentation adhere to recognized standards (e.g., Google’s Documentation Guide)? I will say yes although I have not seen he gdg guide yet How does it compare with industry best practices? It writes clear and understandable paragraphs 10. Overall Assessment: Provide an overall assessment of the documentation, including a summary of your key findings. Rate the document on a scale from 1 to 5 based on overall quality and usability. I will rate it as 2, because after going through the quickstart, I did not start. 11. Additional Comments: Any additional observations or comments. writetech-doc-review/templates/review-template.md at main · Kessi-ux/writetech-doc-review
