This is on point. Whenever I have tried reading the re-frame docs (I actually have tried more than once during the prevt years) I always get frustrated/bored from the lack of actual use cases and explanations of why this could be useful to me!

The docs just seem to academical for me... They would be excellent for a master's thesis but not for somebody deciding if he would like to invest time into a project.

Thanks for the feedback. In this regard, I think things have improved a little over the last 8 months, stepwise.

In our busy world, people want more immediate summaries and progress. These docs arose out of me trying to teach my team how to think about coding in Clojure and to use re-frame (we were all new to the language at the time), so they definitely have a didactic flavour.

I continue to nudge them in the direction you recommend.
