Honestly, @LensProtocol has the best developer portal I've seen in my life: lens.xyz/garden
It's a great inspiration for all of us that build with devs in mind.
Let's go through it together: 馃У
If you go to their landing, the biggest and brightest button is their "Garden" aka the developer portal. It clearly sets expectations and the target user at this point.
The portal doesn't explain you the contracts, it inspires you to build on top of it. You won't care about the documentation if you have nothing in mind to build. It's part of the funnel! It totally worked for me, the night I read it, I couldn't sleep because of all the ideas.
First thing you see are the 7 most important components that will make your product shine. The ingredients of it, their nutritional facts and quick links to understand the details behind them.
You got an idea in mind already? Great, next part of the site is a how to guide so you can start it right away. There's no time to wait, the space moves too fast!
If you made it that far, you'll enjoy the next section: "APPLY FOR A GRANT". Quick and straight to the point, no other protocol will attempt it to make it so easy for builders to create stuff.
Interestingly, the last part is what most companies often put in first: "WHY LENS?". Lens is very diffuse as a product, as it doesn't do anything by itself. It's nothing without the builders around it and therefore, explaining what it is can get messy and complicated.
The best way to get people to understand it and most importantly use it, is by helping them dream what this protocol might become. The funnel they've built is super powerful and it shows as it clearly is one of the strongest builder communities in crypto.
