We are thinking about things we could add that would make more people aware of the site. Some ideas are below, feel free to comment with more ideas!

Static Docs Site

We should have a separate docs site. It could show:

  • Pages for each important feature
  • "Blog" for new added feature

Bonus points if it actually compiles against our app code so we don't have stale docs. Might be able to use this package to compile, typecheck, show output for markdown documentation

Tax Calculator

We could add something like this as an alternative way to get users interested in the site:

https://smartasset.com/taxes/income-taxes

https://www.nerdwallet.com/taxes/tax-calculator

After completing the information in the tax-calculator, and seeing some results, the data entered could be used to set up initial state values.

Form info pages

We could add documentation pages about all the forms we support, including direct links to the corresponding IRS information PDFs.

Start page

The "Start Return" buttons at the bottom are below a lot of text people probably don't want to read if they just want to try things out. This page should be laid out better.

Thanks for doing this write up!
