This sounds like useful content to me. I defer to the community on how best to achieve that; I'm here to offer another option from the platform side, in case it's useful. Codidact support _articles_ in addition to questions and answers. An article is a top-level post type that doesn't have children. (A question is a top-level post type that does have children.) You can see articles in use in [EE papers](https://electrical.codidact.com/categories/35), the [Code Golf sandbox](https://codegolf.codidact.com/categories/50), and the [Meta blog](https://meta.codidact.com/categories/30). In all of the linked examples, articles are in their own category, separate from Q&A. It [is possible to mix articles and questions](https://collab.codidact.org/categories/56), but it means that each time you create a post you need to choose the type. That's fine for Collab, our small community focused on developing the Codidact platform, but is probably not what you want here, when most people aren't deeply familiar with platform features and just want to ask a question. (Maybe we should add a default post type and have some way for people to say "no, I want this other one", but we haven't thought that through yet.) *If* this community wants to build a body of posts explaining key concepts, tutorials, deep dives, or whatever, and they don't fit the Q&A format well, we could set up another category for you and configure it for articles. Please ping me if this is something y'all want to explore. I'm happy to answer questions.
